M1 Folding Stock

I've listed a M1 folding stock for sale on Gunbroker and put a little warning at the end of the ad saying that the buyer is responsible for knowing whether it is lawful to use on their weapon. I know the stock isn't specifically regulated by law, in and of itself, but can you think of anything else I should say or do to protect myself? The sale ends in a day and I don't want to complete it if there is something of significant concern that I haven't thought of.

The stock by itself MAY be legal but assembling it would certainly create an illegal assalt weapon.
Beware the People's Demokratik Republik of Kalifornia.

Correct, the stock itself is legal in CA despite those "No Sales to CA" warning seen in Midway, CTD or Sportsmans Guide.
Simply dropping your favorite M1 carbine (assuming that's the M1 we're talking about) into the folder would create an AW by configuration. However, you can modify the gun's mag release system and pin the folder and be CA compliant. Why anyone would want to do that is another matter - I have Mini 14 folders and use conventional stocks in state - but it can be done if one likes the look.
I'll probably buy an M1 carbine folding stock, do a switch out when I travel north to free Oregon.
I'd like to check out an M1 folding stock.
Is it from a Beretta BM-59?
