Picked up an inheritance yesterday of quite a few firearms, and quite a bit of ammo..

 

Almost all of the shotgun ammo, is paper shells. They were stored properly and look to be in great condition. I can't remember the name of them I'll post it later...

 

Think these are ok to shoot?? I'm not familiar with them and I didnt recognize the name..

When I started hunting we shot paper shells all the time. As long as the brass isn't corroded and the paper is still in tact I'd be oh with shooting them.

They look brand new.

 

Gonna take the ol man out clay shooting soon and fire some off.. he hasnt been in years and i need the practice..

If they look brand new then go and enjoy them. It's great that you're taking the ol man out shooting, hope you guys have a great time. I miss shooting with my ol man, but now I get to shoot with my kids instead.

Show us what you got firearms wise in the inheritance.

I will BLF.. due to my current living situation i dont have immediate access. Going to my dads again later today, hopefully get pics.

 

 

9 rifles 5 shotguns total unfortunate how they were received but theyll be used instead of sold.

Perfectly fine to use as long as they seem dry, not swelled by moisture, and will chamber correctly.

 

It's not a bad idea to search the web to see what they are worth. Some brands and gauges still intact in their original boxes are becoming sought after by collectors today.

I wouldn't sell them.. going to shoot every round and there is a lot!

 

All in boxes/cases and like i said.. they look brand new. I'll get some info on them later.

Temper that sentiment with this: Intact old paper shells today depending upon condition, make & gauge; can sell for as much as $3 to $5 apiece to a collector

They'll go bang just like the others..

This... Sell them to someone who collects them and potentially gain enough money to buy twice as much new stock.

Talked to my dad, they are Reliance paper shells. All in original packing. Quite a few loose, but full boxes and a few full cases. Google hasnt shown much interest in them..

Those are made by Federal. They are somewhat plentiful. There's reload data for them in the 2nd Edition Lyman Shotshell Handbook if you ever want to reload them.

shoot them for fun not hunting if they dont go bang on a target you wont care but you mess up on game on a follow up shot its a problem

I dont hunt, so thats a non issue.
