[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3002586, member: 13284"] You are correct that the receiver is a Standard Products...a mid-1943 production receiver. As Todd previously noted, the handguard is a commercial (not USGI) piece and the rifle has several traits that tell us that it underwent arsenal rebuild post-war. Adjustable rear sights are not always indicative of a post-war rebuild as there are some late production guns that an adjustable sight is original and correct for. IMHO, it sounds like you're looking at a shooter grade rifle with little collector value. $600-$650 is top dollar in most circles for import marked carbines (unless rare or desireable). Blue Sky imports typically are on the less desireable end of imports, due to the size of the import marks and horror stories of ruined barrels as a result of overly aggressive stamping of the importation info. If the condition of the rifle checks out $550-$575 is likely a fair purchase price. [/QUOTE]
