Default GH restored with fluid steel barrels

Is a gun like this safe to use with modern shells?

Shooting modern ammo should be of no concern. Those barrels are modern replacement barrels. Not mono blocked of anything. Looks like maybe Belgian proof marks. Likely chambered for 2-3/4" shells.

Obviously between, the non original barrels, the incorrect metal finish and some incorrect wood it had no collector value. But the price is not unreasonable for a shooter.
