I have not fired my shotgun in six years, is it safe to fire?
Question:It is a Remington pump action nickel plated shotgun made in 2000. Does it have to be checked or oiled up first before I can fire it again, I have only fired it once.
Peace

Does weather have an effect on fishing? (Barometric Pressure) if so how?
Serviced at a gun shop? Wow it ain't no wonder America is failing.Just clean it yourself. Oil it yourself. Don't let some people who obviously are ignorant tell you that you can't do it yourself. They sell a decent starter "cleaning kit" at Wal-Mart that will work just fine. The fact that your shotgun is nickel plated will help it to resist corrosion. And you are correct in that you should do a precursory check and oiling of any firearm that has been stored a long time. You can do this without a gunsmith.
This gives you the opportunity to learn more about your firearm. Take it as a learning experience. Make sure the firearm is unloaded and get after it. And next time you can give a positive can do answer to someone else.

Oh Yes it's safe. It will still be safe to shoot in a hundred years.Modern weapons are very well made. Cautions about safery of guns are generally refering to weapons made before WWI, which may not be strong enough to fire cartridges with modern smokless powders.
Shouldn't be any problem, but I would clean and oil it first, just to be on the safe side. This is a modern firearm, you really don't have anything to worry about, if it was in good working order when you fired it last.
What to look for when shopping for a machete?
No, you don't need to do anything special to it unless it has a barrel obstruction or has some major rusting, basically if it looks ok then it should be safe to fire. I have never heard of a gun that wasn't safe to fire after six years of storage.if it was me i wouldn't think twice about shooting it but if you really want to you could bring it into gunsmith and have him take a look at it but I bet he wouldn't look at it for more than 30sec. then he would tell you that its ok to shoot

It should be perfectly safe to shoot. Well, you probably should clean it and re-oil it first, since if it's been in storage for the last six years, whatever lubrication you had in there when it went into storage has probably dried out, gummed up, collected dust, or run out. But otherwise, it should be as good as the day you bought it.It came with a book for dissaembly and reassembly right?This gun can sit on the counter for a 100 yrs and will still be safe to shoot.

Did you clean it well after it was shot last? Gun powder is very caustic. The barrell and receiver should be cleaned well after being shot. That new of a gun and having only been fired once, I doubt the barrell has pitted enough to be of concern, even if it was not cleaned.Check to make certain there are no obstructions in the barrell and go for it. Only this time, don't be lazy and get out the cleaning kit and clean er out when you are done.

If you can take it apart to clean it throughly do so. If not take it to a gunshop and/or gunsmith to let them show you how so you will know how to in the future.

clean and oil it[ should be done offen anyway] and take aim.It should be fine so long as you make sure the barrel is not obstructed. Then you should clean and lightly lube it before taking it out and shooting it. Clean and lube it again before storing it for a long time. This way it will give you many, many years of service.
