I have my grandfather's Remington Model 14 pump .32 Rem rifle - along with some ammo that was undoubtedly his. My Dad (now long gone) and I shot a lot when I was a kid and I never remember taking this out. I'm confident it hasn't been shot in the last 40 years - at least.
Are folks still shooting these? It's in fine shape. I'm not worried about hurting $ value by shooting it. (And it doesn't sound like they're particularly valuable.) I have it for nostalgic reasons and I'd like to use it.
From a little research I've done it sounds like ammo is hard to come by. Are there ammo sources? Can ammo be found at gun shows or online?
Lastly - I'm assuming using ammo from the '40s is likely not a problem. The ammo looks in good shape - other than just old. It's been stored in a dry basement for many years and it seems to have held up very well.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
