[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 2279765, member: 9220"] Ancient history -- About 20 years ago had a opportunity to buy a Blue Sky rebuilt M1 Carbine for $90 -- It has General Motors 1945 stamped on the barrel; It also has Blue Sky stamped on the barrel too. I read somewhere these were in Korea and bought by Blue Sky and rebuilt (do not know if true). It shoots great, stock still appears brand new, the only issue is the wood stock has a small chip where the back of the receiver meets the top of the stock (the recoil lug area) -- A guy I met at the range, said the was normal, that I should dremel the chip out and refill with wood putty, I just left it there. They parkerized the crap out of all the metal parts -- The same range guy said the bolt assembly was off a M2 because it was heavier than the standard M1. If you read the forums there are a lot of mixed reviews about Blue Sky M1 Carbines, I sure like mine! As far as ammunition, I bought some a while ago, but Civilian Marksmanship Program sells ammunition, when they have it. [/QUOTE]
