This is an excellent illustration on why it is best to aviod buying guns you can't see in person, or shoot. I've handled more than one gun that had dimensions similar to what I need that just didn't shoot to where I was looking.
Buy at an auction, and take your chances. That probably is the best place for jOe to come up with his sleevers, however, and since he shoots birds on the ground, fit and POI aren't as important.
Best,
