That horn thingee on the pistol grip can be unscrewed, can't it? I suspect that most men with average to large hands would prefer the original configuration.

The grip cap is nice. German silver?

The bluing looks dull. Is there brown or maroon tone under the blue, if you take it outdoors or shine a strong flashlight on it?

Looks like a nice enough gun, if it fit the buyer or his lady or teen. If one hunts in a coat, the LOP might be quite okay. The M-1 Garand stock always seems a little short to me, when not wearing a parka. But many men like it.

I traded for a Howa 1500 with a synthetic stock that is a little short for me. (It was my DIL's rifle, and she wanted to swap one of hers for a good binocular.) I can certainly use the rifle,
but wouldn't have bought one with a stock that short. Unless it was for a woman or youth...or for cold weather use, when the coat can make a real difference in how a gun handles.
