If they've been stored reasonably well, yes. I have some 60 year old shells I occasionally use

I've got some old paper shells. Not going to shoot them.

I’d probably buy a 16 gauge and shoot some stuff.

My dad died when I was 4. About a year or so later, we had a knock on the door from UPD, or whatever was delivered service back then. It was from Browning. He had sent his Belgian metal Sweet 16, to be re-done completely. You had to send it to the factory back then.

What a great surprise. Still shoot it today at doves.

I inherited a Belgian Sweet 16 from my Dad also.
Best feeling/shooting shotgun I ever held.
It was always his favorite shotgun too.
