Iver Johnson
How can I tell if my old Iver Johnson 12 guage single shot gun is safe to shoot?
It sat at my Dad’s house in the Atlantic salt air. The bore shows a “little” rust. The barrel shows surface rust. I have used a solvent/lubricant to clean my gun. The breach seems to close very tightly. The trigger and pin are tight and in safe working order. The barrel is 18 1/4″ and was this way when I got it in 1973.
from your description – the gun should be safe –but – i would wear some gloves and safety glasses–and also shoot it holding at my side waist level – the first time – get some 2 34 inch shells # 5 OR 6 shot that you could use later for hunting –OO buck shot is best for home defense–or a gun smith will check it for around $30–Good luck–take care
