It was my weapon in the Korean War, It was very sensitive to dirt in the action, so you had to be careful with that. I have one I bought thru a plan the NRA had about 30 years ago. Funny thing, it was made by IBM.
We are trying to get one out of Korea but so far, everything is a Garand. I don’t want a thumb buster.

I got one new in cosmoline the same way in about 1963...$20. Two years earlier an M1911...also $20. Both came to my home via US Mail as I recall.
