Well, first of all, with the adjustable rear sight, it ain't a WW2 bringback. They didn't put those sights on until after the war.
BUT......for $250, who the hell cares? Buy the damn thing. Buy it now. And enjoy shooting it.

A few years ago, a co-worker asked me to come over for Easter brunch with his extended family and look at an M1 Garand that "was carried by Gramps in WWII". It was a spectacular condition
post WWII production gun sold to his grand-father through DCM/CMP. The family told me that I must be mistaken because Gramps told them he carried it in WWII. I am certain what he had said or meant was that he carried one
just like it in WWII, not that particular rifle. They showed me the "Government paperwork" (DCM) to prove it. They then all looked at me like I had called Gramps a liar
I did manage to show them how to open the action, check the chamber and close the action without losing a digit before I was politely asked to leave before I accused Gramps of being a panty wearing draft-dodger.
