I found the Baltimore Arms basic design to be average at best. Not the strongest by nature of design and fit of finished materials. Light use with moderate low pressure loads should be within reason. A gun to shoot a thousand shells a year they are not. A box now and then maybe.
If you want to compare it to other guns of the same vintage it would be in the bottom third of guns to use on my list. Parker, Smith, Lefever, well above it. Belgian imports at the same or lesser strength. Exceptions to everything I know but it is more of a curiosity than a go to shooter.
