I wouldn't shoot it. It has Damascus made barrels. They can't handle smokeless loads. Just a safety thing to be aware of.

You can shoot Damascus barrels, just have to make sure to use reduced load ammo made for them.

You can but Id keep it to black powder loads. I grew up in a gunshop and gunsmithing business over 40 yrs and I can tell you I've seen more burst Damascus shotgun barrels come in and customer stories about them blowing up than I cared to see or hear about. From People loading them up and shooting them with smokeless powder rounds.
