Heavy and bulky, the folding stock isn't particularly comfortable.
The semi automatic mode doesn't like anything that isn't regular powered buckshot, which is what the pump-mode is for; low powered loads, but in pump-mode you also literally pump against the spring of the gas piston.

The semi-auto mode needs its recoil buffer, a piece of neoprene in the back of the receiver, for the bolt to hit against, without this buffer (either absent or dried and cracked out), the bolt will batter, and gradually stretch the receiver.
Also, the older lever safeties have been known to actually discharge the gun when accentuated, so either don't touch that safety at all, or get the safety upgraded to a cross button safety that doesn't do this.

But, as long as the gun hasn't been sitting in a shed for a decade and the buffer hasn't disintegrated over time (in which case, just run it in pump-mode), and you then just run decently powered 00 buck loads, the gun should work fine.
