Kevin, since you are in California, I would recommend having Dave Fjelline in Lincoln ,Ca., take a look at it. He has a passion for hammer guns--especially long barreled ones.
Just thinking, I wonder if Briley makes a 10ga to 12 ga conversion tube/insert that would allow you to safely shoot it--I believe they run around $600 installed.
I have recently been in your shoes. I picked up a 16 ga hammer gun with 34" twist barrels, a rare find. Unfortunately, it was in poor condition , and deemed unshootable in its current condition--still debating what to do with it.
I can get you Dave's # if you want

That would be great I actually don’t live very far from Lincoln, it’s about 45mins from where I am. I’ve done some reading on the barrel inserts and I think that’s the route I’ll go if they are deemed unsafe as is.
