You have a very old firearm with no datastamp. Before using it, what should you do?

  1. Fire it with lightweight ammo

  2. Clean and oil it thoroughly

  3. Get it examined by a gunsmith

  4. Sell it as an antique

The correct answer is: Get it examined by a gunsmith

Option A is incorrect because firing a very old firearm with lightweight ammo could potentially cause damage or malfunction. Option B is incorrect because simply cleaning and oiling the firearm does not guarantee its safety for use. Option D is incorrect because selling it as an antique without proper examination by a professional gunsmith could be dangerous for the buyer and could also result in legal issues for the seller. It is important to have the firearm examined by a gunsmith to ensure its safety for use.
