Shotgun Questions

I just inherited two shotguns, the first is a J.C. higgins Model 20-12ga. Sears Roebuck and Co. 583.59. The other is a High Standard Flight King Field Model K-200 (20ga). I have not shot these guns in sometime they were my fathers. i plan to bring them out after 6-day and try them out. They are older guns and i wanted to know if anyone has ever used one. What type of hunting did you do with them. I guess these are fixed chokes thats the reason i ask. (i dont know much about guns). Can i shoot any type of shot out of these IE Slugs and buckshot. Are there any places around that i could trade these in on. I would like to get a gun for upland birds and a slug gun, but dont have the money. I hope these can work for me for now until i save up the money or get may address changed on my FID card.

If anyone wants to help shoot and pattern these guns, that would be appreciated.

Depending on when you wanna shoot them I could come along. I've never shot any of those guns though, so I can't answer your other questions! Oh, and that reminds me...I need to change my address on my fid too!

mike the guns rom back in the day are standard barrels. no choke's. you shouldnt shoot steel out of them. u can shoot slugs but they have to be smooth bore. not a rifled slug as it would mess the inside of the barrel up. i wouldnt worry about them being old. as long as everything looks to be in good working condition i would shoot them. we shot a single shot 16 gauge for skeet after not being fired for probrably 15 or more yrs. it shot great. keep them oiled and clean. let me know when your going. i do alittle something about guns.

I shot that Sear Roebuck a couple weeks ago before you picked it up from my house. It works perfect. No issues brotha
