Sure!
So long as the barrel is clean and bright and the breech locks up tight, it's safe to shoot.
I have a Winchester 1897 from 1909 that shoots great.
Just don't try shooting it with 3' or magnum shells.
Use only the 2 1/2" shells it was designed for, they're not hard to find.
If it is not choked to tight, yes.
They were made from 1937-1963. Because they were not serial numbered, it's difficult to tell on age. I think there were slight changes in the hammer which might give us a clue but have not found out for sure. They are highly sought after single shots, as they are strong and often shoot a good tight pattern.
Yes.In all modern shells, the shot is packed in a plastic wad which keeps the shot in a tight group as it travels down the barrel. The shot never actually touches the sides of the barrel.So long as you don't try running magnum loads thru a gun that isn't rated for them, you won't have a problem.
a tight chain
Depends on body shape size. For a guy in okay to good shape, tight skinnies are cool. Shows off the buttocks too.
by turning or loosening the choke you are increasing the diameter of the bbl. by tightening the choke you are decreasing the diameter. all the way tight is full choke about 6 clicks open is modified and about 6 more clicks open is improved cylinder. shoot your gun on full or all the way tight into a target then open the choke up to modified shoot again then open it to imp. cyl. and shoot again. the clicks you may need to turn your particular choke may be a little different than mine. kell.
Due to the tight quarters and high rate of injuries it is illegal.
