This is crucial:

"...have a good gunsmith available to inspect the gun closely."

Don't close the deal until this 'smith has inspected the gun, and don't trust anyone except this person.

Shotguns have a habit of developing problems after the seller cashes the check and ships the gun to you.

Caveat emptor is the rule, not the exception...
