IMHO, if you're wanting this gun as a shooter I would'nt think a different set of barrels would change much. It's still going to be just a shooter and not a highly collectable original gun.
Buy it for what it is and put it to good use. One thing I would say is be more concerned with the choke installation rather than the monoblocking. Like does it have safe thickness in the choke tubes and muzzle of the barrel? I have seen and owned guns with after market choke installations that developed a bulge in the barrel at the tube. Likewise, very thin chokes can peel forward inside the barrel. If done correctly you should have no problem.
Do you know what the barrel steel composition is? Will you be able to shoot steel shot if you so desire? With replaceable chokes this can be a universal gun and have good pedigree to boot!
Good luck!
