I find it curious there are many people against shooting original guns.
Shear age along has no documented adverse effect on metal. If the firearm is not damaged by corrosion, overloading or mishandling then it presents no real risk of failing or being damaged by further moderate usage.
I feel that much of the myth surrounding the likely hood of an old gun exploding is due to people using smokeless powder or discharging a firearm that was already structurally compromised.
I enjoy seeing vintage automobiles being driven on the road,as well as firing vintage guns.Both should be checked and used within their design limitations.
