Browning 2000 20 Gauge 3" Full Choke

Hello All - Anybody have an answer for this question?
I recently acquired a Browning 2000 20 Gauge chambered for 2-3/4" shells, with a fixed "Modified" choke. I wanted to shoot 3" #4 ammo, so I purchased an extra barrel chambered for 3" with a full choke. The question is:
Is it safe to shoot #4 shot with a "Fixed" full choke? I've read a lot of conflicting information on the web, but I have not consulted Browning directly - I thought perhaps one of you guys could answer this question definitively. Some folks say it's o.k., & some say it's not safe, & may cause the barrel to bulge or explode??

I'm personally not familiar with that model of Browning shotgun?
When steel shot was first used, the problem with full choked barrels became apparent. Awhile back I had a older full choke Model 12, that was made in the 50's. The choke had been opened up to improved cylinder, to safely fire steel shot.
