The gun looks very nice! However, it has quite a bit of drop at the heal for a British gun, it must've been made for an American shooter. My old heavily honed 9/10 gauge Manton was paper thin at the muzzles yet it held together just fine with a 1-1/8 ounce shot and 6 dram black powder load. The honing may have been done to correct a barrel regulation POI problem. Chuck H has successfully done similar things to correct POI problems. With that paper thin muzzle you're going to want to be careful not to bang it into anything.

PS HojO just because I may disagree with you doesn't necessarily mean I'm wrong. Your friend Amarillo Mike did his best to explain that concept to you but apparently he was unsuccessful.
