I bought two of the less desirable Blue Sky carbines thirty or so years ago when these were being imported back into the US. They were $175.00 each. Both worked fine and would shoot into groups of around three inches at 100 yards with my handloads. I never did fire commercial or GI ammo in either gun. These guns were fun to shoot and have a neat look about them, but the new wore off quickly for me, kind of like it did with ARs.
