    I've been following this on the CMPicon forum.
    The CMP COO Orest stated that the CMP is not involved in this. And added, CMP isn't an importer and couldn't bring them back into the USAicon.

    Seems one of the commercial importers is getting them, and will resell them.

    Wanna bet it won't be for the price CMPicon would charge!

    Blue Sky

    While it is easy to knock Blue Sky rifles now, remember the times then if you could. DCM/CMPicon still had the one rifle per lifetime rule. There were few, very few, M-1's in the market. When the Blue Sky rifles came in, they were the FIRST batch of rifles in quantity that the US had seen. Around the same time Arlington Ord. brought in some M-1's of higher quality, (Israeli?) but they were expensive and snapped up quickly. So remember the days-Blue Sky's were good stuff, at the time.
