It should if it fits on other kinds of M1 Carbines.

The Universal company did make a civilian version of the M1 Carbine. Not all of the Universals use the same parts as the military issue M1 carbine. Please note this is caliber .30 Carbine, and not the 30-06 caliber of the M1 Garand rifle.
$75 to $400 US depending on the condition.
No sn data in the public domain.
yes, a few years after WWII ended, M1 and M2 Carbines were tested with various scopes . In the late '50's & 60's the military mounted night vision scopes on the military carbine. In 1994 a shooter friend past away. I removed a scope from his military carbine and replaced the flip rear sight. So, yes a scope can be mounted on a military carbine.
Universals are a civilian version of the M1 carbine, made after WW 2. No serial number data is available for the civilian carbines- sorry.
Anywhere from the late 950's to the 1980-90's.
It is worth between $200 and $2,000.

Roughly mid-1960s. Universal is gone, and so are their records of production.
While similar in appearance to the military M1 Carbine, the Universal brand carbine may or may not share parts with those. They are considered to be of lesser quality than the military carbine, and prices are about half of the GI Carbine.
