Mr. Wilson:
The critical eye of an experienced double gun 'smith is never a wasted precaution when it comes to a newly acquired gun. But he must be familiar with doubles. Not "black rifles" etc.
That being said, if the gun appears original and in good order, it is probably OK to shoot. The barrels are key. If no pits, thin walls, lengthened chambers are in evidence, you're probably OK to shoot.
