Very cool, but how does one bring it back home without getting into all sorts of trouble? Ok, don't answer that since then the way won't work, but a general idea would be nice for a civi.

Andrew - pre-1898 manufactured weapons may be imported without restriction. This doesn't mean you won't run into some under-educated Customs Agent, but there is no legal restriction on the importation of those weapons. That's an M1880 Enfield MkII, so it's okay. It helps, if you want to do that, to have made a copy of the relevant federal laws and include a copy with the weapon, and carry a copy yourself. But in fact, Joe could mail that to himself.
