Thanks for the replies gentlemen. The gun is priced on consignment at $4600 and I think we all agree that’s too high. The owner knows he’s upside down in the gun and is willing to sell for less hence why I posed the question. I don’t mind paying a fair price but I know that the shortened stock presents some significant challenges in the future should I decide to sell as liverwort eluded to.

I may make a significantly reduced offer on the gun as its lop could work for me and it has thinwall Brileys installed which appeals to me. I appreciate everyone’s input!!
