Default Brass sleeved barrels, add screw-ins? Or too soft?

I’ve acquired an old Parker Lifter. Came with 2 barrels serial numbered to the receiver. 1st barrel set is 10g 32”, not sure of chokes, need to measure them. 2nd barrel set is 10g 28” but sleeved with a brass lining to 12g choked C/IC.

Call it blasphemy if you will, but are brass sleeves too soft to even bother Briley or Mike Orlen to add screw-in chokes for me? Or would they be OK as long as you don’t over tighten and strip the threads?
