I have one of the early guns (1874) and shoot it just fine, but I am mindful of what I run through it.
Great gun! Enjoy!

Thanks, I will use the proper light loads if that time comes. Right now, I just happy to have this remarkable gun in this condition from 1877. My plan is to keep it looking this good. I was worried more about the stock cracking.
