Addendum to above: you will note that your door jamb or wall and floor are assumed to be normal to each other and you just get an eyeball sense that the angle between butt and rib is less than that when you use the comparing with the world as you hope it is method. Trigonometrically speaking, if that's possible, muzzles couple inches off the wall at 28" distant from the breech (or whatever) is just another loose way of saying the included angle is less than 90 degrees on any gun with positive pitch. If the breech and muzzle touch, pitch is zero (right angle). If the muzzles touch and the breech don't, the pitch is negative, the toe is relatively long and looks like it is, and if you can shoot it, good for you.
