Thank You! And... I know those guys pretty well. They didn't insert the magazine into the rifle, but did pull everything out the way that they had gotten it in the store. Regarding the price, I found out more information about the owner. Apparently he feels that his adult kids, who are anti-gun, would just get rid of the guns he brought in, including this one...so he simply asked it to be sold at a "fair price". The LGS owner told me he also brought in a period 1944 Colt 1911 which was snapped up by one of the workers at the shop.

The mismatch doesn't bother me, as the scope is very clear.
