Impossible to answer without having the gun in hand. Iver Johnson made good, sound, utility grade firearms for many years. These were the guns of the mechanic, farmer, small shopkeeper- well made and safe to use with the correct ammo. However, we cannot see YOUR gun, and have no way to judge the condition. You should ask a competent gunsmith to examine your gun, and I WOULD avoid using steel shot in the gun- that will cause accelerated wear on the chokes unless the gun was made for steel shot- which THOSE were not.
