I have shot plenty of 75-100 year old guns.. mostly skeet and trap types. That have shot thousands of rounds and get taken out every weekend and shoot hundreds of rounds. Many times not cleaned for months. And run flawlessly.

You’re really over thinking this. Unless what you want is “collectible” museum piece that you just look at and never touch.

Kind of like the old days where all the furniture is covered in plastic. Great, it will last forever. And no one living in the house ever gets to sit on it or be comfortable… but the next owners that take the plastic off and use it will definitely appreciate it.
