Interesting gun when finished with all those original parts.

Make sure you safely "proof" the 4-bore before firing it from the shoulder. I would not attempt the 'standard' 4-bore charges of 12 to 16 drams from that original barrel. You might find 10 drams or 273gr. is quite 'enough'. This should keep the pressure down to a low enough level.
