The only drawback to that is that it won't be matching numbers, but for a shooter that's not an issue. For that price jump on it and don't look back. I have three, a 1916 CG a Husqy Commercial sporter built from surplus M96 action and barrel and a former 96/41 sans the mount and scope. I'm going to be cutting the barrel on the former sniper down to 24" and reshape the stock for a sporter contour, that'll be my winter project after deer season this year.
