Plenty of good guns available out there,if you need to ask the question you probably have the answer......I would just move on and find something else

I do already have what I believed to be the answer, and that was that it would not be an issue as long as it was forward of the forcing cones... that seems to have been the consensus here also. It is sometimes nice to get the consensus of many others to ensure you are not far off base. It is also a way to learn... if I never asked a single question about old shotguns from the ppl that know a great deal more than me, I would not learn about them and thus it would follow from your logic, I would not own any.
And I will say, there are not many of THIS gun available.
2 Piper and others, thank you, I did read the Bell article and I think of it often when I hear ppl yell and scream about how unsafe old damascus guns are to shoot. I do own my own BWT and a bore gauge and feel comfortable checking out my own guns prior to shooting them I was just looking for opinions from others on what they considered safe.
Thanks, I will post pictures in a few days whether I end up with the gun or not as I think its worth discussing.
