he was an older fella i met off ice shanty - it looked ok but it also wasnt the one he hunts with - wanted to trade me that and 125 bux for an old .410 side by side antique shotgun - i had to pass - it was a gun my father gave me and only produced between 1900- and 1915 - my dad had it re-done back in the 90s and i havent ever shot it - im guessin you can shoot it - its in very good condition and my dad shot in back in the 50s but i am honestly afraid without havin a gunsmith check it 1st to just go out and fire it
