Universal Enforcer Pistol
Is there a "catch" to driving out the gas piston plug pin? Such as from the left or right?

I bought the above with serial #217477 cal 30 M-1. Manufactured in Hialea? Florida. It appears to have an 11 1/4 " barrel with the receiver and barrel encased in a walnut stock head to toe. Can anyone tell me when it was manufactured. Was it 1965-1982 or after 1985. It is important that I know because in Maryland in order to sell a handgun it has to be on an approved handgun list put out by the Maryland State Police. It is not on the list. I can sell it if it was manufactured before the 1985 list came into affect if it was made before 1985. Looking in my 26th edition of the blue book it appears from several verus in there that this was made in the early range I mentioned above. Can anyone date it for me[?]
Thanks a million

Jack, the Maryland Handgun Roster was created in 1989, after the manufacture of Univeral firearms had ceased. However, the date of manufacture of any handgun is irrelevant.
Your post was unclear as to whether you are attempting to buy the gun, sell it, or if you currently own it & just want to know your options.
The Handgun Roster restricts only your ability to OBTAIN a handgun; selling it or retaining possession of a specific handgun is not affected. In Maryland, the transfer of all handguns must be approved by the Maryland State Police; if a handgun is not on the Roster, they will not approve the transfer, regardless of when the handgun was manufactured.
If you possess a handgun not listed on the Roster, you may only sell it by transferring it to a dealer in another state.

Sorry Neal to disagree with you. While that is when the law came into being they back dated it to 1985. I buy and sell in this state all types of pre 85 handguns. Colts, makarovs,(any old military pistols, Hi Standard-22's etc. Check your law and the Maryland State Police application to purchase a regulated firearm, you will see the magic 1985 date on it. Now modern handguns and those made after 1985 are something else. Audited every year by MSP and never had a problem and have checked myself with them before I sold the first one. Sorry to disagree and respect your opinion.
now, to the real question, can anyone date it for me?
Thanks
Jack

I don't know if this is going to help you or not?
My reference notes that "Universal Firearms Inc". was acquired by "Iver Johnson Arms Inc", of Jacksonville AR in 1983.
They continued manufacturing the Enforcer pistol under various names, i.e. Super Enforcer & Model 3000, this would be in the mid 80's time frame. Being they were being manufactured in AR by I.J., it seems the Universal name and address would have not been used.

JES -- I'm almost sure you've got a gun manufactured in the 60s or 70s by Universal and not by IJ. Not only are the odds heavily on your side in terms of the numbers, but the fact that it is marked Universal is in your favor. I'd love to own it myself. I've seen these over the years for $300, then $500, and I think somebody was trying to sell one for $800 at some gun show one time -- which is Uzi pistol or post-ban AR money. As it is a Universal, it is not a mil-spec gun but should still be about as good a shooter, although not desired by militaria collectors -- but it is a "popular" collector's item for all the obvious reasons, which accounts for the price roller coaster. I'd be inclined to pay only a few hundred for one of those depending on excellent condition, and leave it hanging on the wall above that.

I saw one at the Portland OR Expo show this weekend....$1,300. It was a solid 98%. It was still on the table when I left. 0 -
JES,
iver johnson aqquired universal firearms in 1985 and only sold them for one year 1986, they were marked with the arkansas address. your universal enforcer with the florida address would be 1984 or earlier.
