So my uncle just gave me an old 740 chambered in 30-06. On the out side it looks like it just came out of the box. As for the inside I dont really know. This gun has not been fired in several years. I can remove the fore stock and everything looks good there but I dont have any punches at home so I can not completly take it apart to inspect it. Every thing seems to work just fine other than firing it which I have not done yet. Should I wait till I can fully take down the gun and inspect it before I fire it? I have ran a brush down the barrel so I do know that it is clear. Also he gave me some old ammo that he had that the brass has turned green in a few places. Is this ammo still safe to shoot?
