the barrels are likely fine
but the wood is 100+ years old- i would go lighter on the recoil
i have a 1904 VH rebarreled by Remington with 2 3/4 chambers- shot a lot of modern loads for hunting and clays - one day looking at a picture of the gun with a couple woodcock- i noticed a split in the wrist
i have never dropped or fallen on the gun - and i am sure that was not there before
