I just inherited a Rem 11-48 shotgun from my grandfather. The gun is over 50 years old, but seems to be in pretty good shape, except for a bit of pitting and rust here and there (NOT, from what I can tell, inside the barrell).
Is this a decent gun? Is there anything I should know about it before I put a few rounds through it? I've never cleaned a shotgun before, so I'm not sure how to disassemble it other than taking the barrell off.
My gramps used to go duck hunting with it (he lived in Louisiana), and I'm wondering if I could do the same (I live in south west WA). Keep in mind, I have never hunted before and don't know the first thing about it, but I live in such a great place to do it that it'd be a shame not to.
I'd appreciate any info. Thanks
