Hmmmm...............A Winchester M1 Carbine with a Winchester barrel. If the muzzle wear is not bad I would estimate around $600 - $700 for a Blue Sky import in good shape. Nice Buy !!!
 
When I purchased my carbine it was listed as a Standard Products, as it was marked on the barrel. In fact it has a National Postal Meter receiver. As others have stated it can be a pain to read under the adjustable rear sight. I paid $550 for mine and I think I got a great deal.

I highly recommend the latest batch of 15 and 30 round magazines coming in from Korea. They are very high quality and all function fine in my carbine.
 
You, sir, found an outstanding deal on an excellent rifle!

Yeah, NPM never made barrels (though I'm not certain that SP made them for NPM). Mine, which isn't really a NPM, but is stamped as such (actually 1 of 50,052 made under contract by Union Switch & Signal), has a Buffalo Arms barrel which is original to the carbine (as indicated by a NPM proof mark).
