Now here is the very fun fact : I had been told that rifle had a mercury recoil reduction device in the stock. And a couple of weeks ago an acquaintance of mine met the original owner. Due to some legal importation restrictions, the mercury recoil device had been removed. So whoever shot my gun on that big bore shoot day could have appreciated the full power of the Gibbs

Huh? You could import the firearm but not the liquid metal filled inertia damping device in the stock? Just wow...

Liquid mercury is quite a nasty thing.
Decent bluing solutions might as well be uranium and can't be imported.
Something with a reasonable amount of mercury much the same.
Even if it is strong enough to handle massive amounts of recoil
