Hi there,

I was just presented with a russian shotgun (my first one, I was "only" a pistolero before). I have no clue what model this is and whether firing it is safe etc. Neither has my father in law, who bought the gun in russia some 25 years ago.

So please, can you read this or give me any info on the safety and use (trap, skeet, hunting?) of that gun, and especially whether I can load all magnum and extra strong defense stuff in there without having fragments of the barrel in my brain after shooting it:

Thanks a lot and stay safe!
