I wouldn't shoot the 10g, with modern loads. Have your smith check your barrel, & trigger group, and if it passes, you might check out some "softer" CASS loads. Just my personal pref- you might be just fine.

Both should be checked for internal pitting, mic'ed for spec, checked for hardness & stress fractures, and a spring replacement, at least. A rub down with Marvel Mystery Oil and bronze wool is a good start to de-gunking. Have fun!

Thanks Rob. I may go and get some tomorrow (MMO and Bronze Wool). I'm not afraid to "harm" the shotguns, I don't think that they can be further harmed.

Chris, the 500A wouldn't chamber a shell, the loading gate wasn't going all the way down. I took it apart and reinstalled the loading gate and made it work. I really didn't know what caused it but all I know is that it worked by being reinstalled.
