Was just gifted a Stevens 520 by my FIL, was his fathers rabbit gun. Any reason to not shoot it. (Looks to have been manufactured between 1920-1924)
It has not been shot in 70 years, looks like it was the last time it saw some oil as well. I have no real need to shoot it, just thought it might enjoy the exercise 
Probably clean it up a little, shoot it a few times re-clean and hang on the wall. Shoot or just oil it up and hang it on the wall? |

If it's in shooting condition, shoot it at least once just for the enjoyment of shooting an old classic.
Just no steel ammo. |

As previously pointed out, no steel shot. Outside of that, the Stevens 520 is very stoutly made and should be enjoyed!

Is the chamber 2 3/4? It should be but if it isn't marked have it checked.

I saw some Stevens 520 pumps in military configuration in one of our arms room when I was with the 2nd ID in S. Korea .
Looked like 20" barrels . |

The riot or military versions came in 20inch barrels. Pretty awesome you actually got to see them in an arms room! I never did see them ever come out of the arms room though . I went to a tank units arms room one time while there and they had racks and racks of M3a1 grease guns . |
