I bought one NIB last year, and it was a lemon.
Did not feed hollow points. Sometimes jammed on quality brass ammo. The safety on mine started to malfunction to the point the gun was unsafe to shoot. I had to modify the trigger bow to get the gun working properly again.
All in all, I'm glad I sold it. Not that great as a shooter either, but for $200... it's your money. This is just one data point.

I just got a M88a which I believe is a shorter version of the M70a.
For starters, it was covered in a thick oil/grease for preservation. You need to clean everything including the magazines. One of the magazines had a large chunk of an insect or something inside.
One of the magazines seems to have a problem as the spring tension is way too high or there is friction between the follower and the magazine body. Finding replacement magazines is impossible.
I cleaned the gun off using mineral spirits and it is a rough finish. A bit of rust here and there, missing bluing, scratches (I used a soft tooth brush, so I doubt it was me). Probably will fire it next week, I hope it feeds hollow points.
