So my father has an old side by side that's about 70 years old that he hasn't shot in about forty years. It looks to be in pretty good shape.
I don't remember the brand off hand but it was something that I'd never heard of (that's not saying much), but with a little research I was able to get a ball park date of the early 1920s.
If I do a good cleaning on it do we think it would be safe to shoot?

Thanks
BB
