It seems the problem with "Blue Sky" markings on M1 carbine barrels was that they apparently used at least a 30 ton hydraulic press or a 20 pound sledge hammer to stamp them and caused indentations that extened through to the bore.
While that may be true in some cases, I have an underwood carbine that is stamped so lightly, the stamp is hardly noticeable.

The gun will hold 5 inch groups at 100 yards all day, I know 5 inches isn't a tack driver, but I think it's fair, for a 60 year old milsurp.
