I recently picked up an old Iver Johnson Champion in 12g. I've taken it apart and cleaned it/inspected it. It has no cracks in the stock, the bore is as clean as my Benelli Nova that's only fired a few boxes of shells. The finish has some very minor pitting and wear in the color case hardening. And the break action is smooth and locks up crisp. All in all the gun is in amazing condition. The serial number indicates the gun was made in the 40s or 50s, my question is, what ammo is safe to shoot? I only plan on using basic buckshot, birdshot, and slugs. Are these okay in an older gun?
