Universal carbine, Cal. .30

My father, who is 83 and wanted a rifle of light weight and little recoil, bought a Universal .30 carbine. Quality seems higher than I'd have thought, really pretty good. (I have little experience of "off-brand" guns.)

He's lost the magazine. Will GI carbine magazines fit? Will those made for Plainfield guns? Are GI 30-round "bannana clips" selling for ridiculous sums these days? Who makes new commercial magazines; GI ones are getting pretty old...maybe Universal is still in business? The receiver shows them in Hialeah, FL. A price reference book I have shows only a Universal in Arkansas, now out of business.

Anyone here have any experience with these Universal carbines?

Thanks.
