My dad is getting a little old to go out shotgunning (85 this year) and has given me his thirty-year-old Mossberg 500 Defender, with 18" barrel. It's only been shot three times, but I don't think he has cleaned it since the seventies. Really.

I own several handguns, but I'm new to shotgunning. I'd like to use the gun for home defense and maybe shooting some clays every once in a while.

Can anyone give me some suggestions, do's and don't's for this gun? (Besides thoroughly cleaning it, that is.)What loads to use and what accessories I might need? I already emailed Mossberg for an owner's manual, which they sent.

Thanks in advance.
