I concur with the disdain over the screws being mangled, however they are not complete deal killers for a beater gun, it is likely if the gun functions properly now it will continue to do so.
Is it a best gun, no, but neither is the price and the chokes are good for grouse.
It maybe a good starter choice in getting deeper into side by sides.
Early on I purchased some rough guns to include Sterlingworth’s, and Francotte Knockabout’s which served me well until I could afford better later. Oddly I still miss the 20ga Francotte Knockabout BLNE.
If you can afford it go for it, if it means crazy sacrifice, then pass and wait another option down the road
