i'd lean towards the $300 range. again blue sky imported these. overseas assembled (in korea ?) rifles as were the garands. the garand i picked up was a BSI. was using it for one of my .308 conversions. the .06 bbl literally was hand tightened into the receiver. the parts were all usgi. the completed unit was junk. their M-1 carbine's had issues with bent recoil rods. if it shoots good and you're comfortable with the price he's asking then buy it.
