Thanks so much for all the information, everyone. It's been helpful. And yes, I am the one who bought it, so I'm eager to take a look in person when it gets in. If the stock isn't abnormally short I think I can deal with that. I'm not sure if I overpaid for it or not, but it seems to be in good shape on the outside, and if it does pass muster I think it'll be really cool to have a gun like that, with such an obscure, provincial English history, killing bobs in Oklahoma a century later. If I'm honest that's one of the main reasons I prefer the vintage stuff.
