You bet! That gun is fantastic! I actually love the deeper curved stock and that it is a shorter barrel, more like a carbine.
The shorter gun is of course more effective for a rider, naturally cavalry used them. In these part (Texas) the saddle ring carbine is the thing, rather like Texas Ranger Joaquin Jackson with his....I guess I see the colorful comparison.
I do recall reading that there was a brisk interchange of guns and parts with Sind regarding jezails (as Stu has well noted),so this one is a nice example.
