Use low pressure loads for all your shooting and that Elsie will outlast you. I think Elsies have an undeserved reputation on their quality. I have two, including my granddad’s 12GA. I’ve shot the sh!t out of them using low pressure loads and never had a problem. I think at one point, keith posted a thread showing what it took to get a set of Elsie barrels to fail. As I recall, it took a surprising amount of abuse, but I don’t recall the details. Maybe he’ll chime in on it. Your granddad’s 20 is a nice gun BTW.
