I feel so inadequate, I just used some HVAC silver rod to coat bicycle stainless ball bearings, haven't seen any werewolves yet though...
Just a matter of time.
May I respectfully suggest that you preemptively view the movie Silver Bullet, starring the indomitable Gary Busey. He'll show you how to deal with werewolves.
Might even be some bullet casting in it, can't recall.
Saw this in NRA Museum up in Fairfax.
Vampire killer kit, ought work on werewolves too.
Hand carved silver bullets!

Hopefully he can recover the shotgun. Once it's been properly disassembled and evaluated then a decision can be made about it's serviceability. Modern firearms have materials,coatings and treatments that could easily withstand a stint in the salt. The chamber is the critical area. They are the stoutest part of the barrel. If it happens to be badly pitted which would be painfully obvious along with any bolt lugs. Even a decent coat of rust can be cleaned up and refinished and still be perfectly serviceable. It's all kind of moot until it's recovered and evaluated.

I think you know enough about me to know I'm 100 times the firearms person than I am a fisherman. I've been out about 10 times on my boat and all I've managed to catch is a few Catfish by the Wilson Bridge. He'll I even worked up a handgun that can do 8"@1,000yds because I got into a pissing contest.lol, says a fisherman

I've been tasked a few times over the years to bring a rusted old gun back to life usually after decades of neglect and rusted shut. I can say that there were only a few that I wouldn't gladly fire with appropriate loads. Even Damascus barreled shotguns. I wouldn't put modern turkey loads through them but some pyrodex and #7 no problem. It's a feeling hunting with your Great Grandfather's shotgun.

I like it when my turkey gun is a Turkey gun...
I only own 2 Winchesters, a Garand rifle and a BAR M1918A2. All of my scatterguns are Remington or Benelli.
Well, drop the Great part...
LOL, I'm using his shells too...
And, they're ALL NEW PLASTIC too, says so right on the box.
Now, I just need to dig out one of his pipes, and find some Half and Half
How often have you touched both barrels off at the same time.
NEVER on that one, or any other old doubles.
But, lots of times on a Stoeger Coach gun.
Only once with 3" slugs, though.
From the hip too.
Had to take a step back quick.
Still amazes me I survived my youth.
Only thing he splurged on.
Had same gun in 12,16, and 20 ga.
That's the 16 in pic, by far my favorite.
When KMart in Prince Frederick stopped selling ammo, I cleaned them out of 16 ga, think it was 7 or 8 boxes, for $4/box.
Been a few years.
