A friend will all but give me a Marlin M24 12 ga. pump (ser.# 109xxx) for CAS shooting. I've checked, and though they are SASS legal, Marlin has recommended that they not be shot, period.
The gun itself is in very good condition. The action feels tight, it has a 2 3/4" chamber (I understand many had 2 1/2"), and dry fires snapcaps with no problems.
My questions are: is this shotgun safe for CAS, and if so, with what loads? Blackpowder only? Light smokeless loads?
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
