History is rough, and often ugly, you got one of the two, be happy it wasn't both. To have any condition of GI Joe's rifle is a privilege not every collector will achieve. Clean it up, get some pictures taken before the milsurp junkies around here start caterwauling for them. I remember the first time I saw one of the South Korean return Blue Sky import stamped M1's, friend of mine bought it and I asked him what the hell did he do to that weapon. It shot well, and wasn't one of the crushed barrel Blue Sky's, far as I know 25 years later he still has it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Whoever had mine before me must have gave up on it being a shooter, it hit a foot to the right and low. The rear sight would not correct this. It hits the bullseye now. Yours may take a few rounds to put it back in fighting form. :2cents:
