I just picked up a Universal M1 carbine on the cheap before all the craziness hit. I even managed to stockpile about 3K rounds for it as well pretty rapidly before it became scarce. I haven't shot it much but what I have it is a pretty fun little rifle to have. I wish it was a real M1 so that if it ever broke there wouldn't be much hassle finding parts, but I only paid $250 for the rifle so I can't complain. If you can find one in good shape at a reasonable price I'd say buy it and have a lot of fun with it!

I picked up a scope mount for the Universal and think it migh make a decent coyote calling rifle with a 2.5 or 4X power scope on it (maybe a holosight). I only wish I could get the sights down to 50 yards as mine seems to be regulated for 100 out to 300 yards. I had to shoot way low to hit milk jugs at 50 yards, but could blast them easily at 100 yards. I think a 110 grain SP might be pretty fur friendly on coyotes and other varmints.
