I think it would be safe.the british shoot damasius barrel shotguns all the time.however there guns are proved to be safe.I have read in a 1997 gun digest that the master of the proof house in England said he NEVER saw an american gun of whatever age fail proof.He said all american guns are over engineered because they do not have a proof house.Funny hugh? Oh my the way my grandfather owned one of the10ga 1901 models,so i'm not a stranger to this design.
