A friend is going to give me his great-grandfathers double-barrel 12 gauge,,,
I've seen the gun before and it is a very pretty gun,,,
But it does have Damascus steel barrels.
At least I think they are Damascus,,,
If you look very closely you can see spiral-like metal.
The thing is I really don't want guns I can't shoot every now and then.
Are there cartridges made that are safe to shoot in these older shotguns?
One man told me to load black-powder cartridges for it,,,
But I don't reload at all and wouldn't know how.
If there is a way I can shoot the old gal occasionally I'll gladly accept the gift,,,
If there isn't any safe way to shoot it I think I'll pass on it.
I am near completely ignorant about old shotguns,,,
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks gentlemen,,,
