buckstix,

That is some nice service from WR. I have to imagine that barrels as short as those on your little .375 weren't ordered all that often, though they seem like just the thing for a Howdah "rifle", so it was nice of WR to note such on the revised ledger.

I had to check it out. Digging around it appears "Monteria", pronounced Mon-te-rí-a, is a Spanish word translating to "chase hunt" or "The pursuit of game with dogs". In Wisconsin I believe that would limit you to bear and rabbits. Your little .375 could be seen as a bit much for bunnies but most certainly a handy arm to have on a Wisconsin black bear hunt.

As to the number you did on your boat cushion, got any duct tape? Those short barrels have me thinking that if your plans for this year's deer season include sitting in a fabric blind with your little English flame thrower you may want to pack a fire extinguisher.
