That demands a lot of discussion, but if the barrels can be measured for wall thiskness, dents and pitting by an EXPERT in the field of 100+ year old shotguns and is deemed safe to shoot, there are modern shells that can be used in it. Chamber pressure should be kept below 8,000 PSI and less is better. And DON'T use steel shot.
