I happen to have one, and it’s in near pristine condition. Shoots ten out of ten at 200 yards with iron sights (that’s the furthest reach I can see well enough to make those shots) off a bench rest. Once I cleaned the bolt to perfection, it even slides like a hot knife through butter. The firing pin spring is so strong that I can barely get the knob to pull and turn to get it on ‘safe’. I’m looking for a good scope setup that doesn’t require removing the rear sight. Next acquisition is an M1 Garand from CMP ... soon.

I think you only have to remove the leaf part of the sight.
