Yeah, I missed that first time, duh!.
As mentioned, I would very carefully inspect it as there could very well be an issue. I have about a half dozen antique muzzleloading shotguns, and have seen several more, and all had full length bottom ribs. But, there are thousands I haven't seen so who knows.
Just proceed with caution. If you have a nagging suspicion that keeps telling you in the back of your mind that something may be amiss, I would pass unless maybe it is a very reasonable price.
