Interesting. 45-70 is a lot higher pressure than .410, but lower pressure than .303. Safe or unsafe conversion(in theory)?

That rifle has had a Douglas bull barrel installed on (apparently) what was a .410 guard musket, which was converted from an original .303. Since the .303 is a much higher pressure cartridge than an ordinary .45-70, the gun is quite safe to shoot.
