Thank you so much. I shot a couple of black powder reloads through it and then smokeless number 8 shot. It worked fine, but I would like to make sure it is safe. Do you recommend a place to send it? The stock is also cracked behind the receiver...it actually was cracked and separated from the wood inside the receiver. I glued it the best I could and it held up to the no. 8. It looks like there are little dents in the barrels also but hardly noticeable.
