I personally think it is a great idea. There are so many things that can go unoticed in English guns. I know from experience, I bought a few myself and I am no expert. I recently bought a nice sidelock by a well known London maker with new barrels made in Birmingham.I did not know they were replacemnet barrels and the dealer failed to mention it. Well everyone on this side of the pond threw rocks at it. But over there things like that are looked upon as no issue.
To have a well known dealer like John sell them I would beleive you would get a honest answer and up front on any issues.
