Safeties are known to 'freeze" up when old oil dries. If they are stuck 'ON', you won't be able to pull the triggers/fire, and it it won't fire, the hammers are too far back to see the pin end. Start with the safety; squirts some PB blaster under it, and with a soft piece of wood against it, tap it forward, then see if it fire. You're working yourself up too quickly.
And, Oh yes, $500 is not bad at all, even if it needs a tad bit of work. There are plenty of people out there with parts IF it comes down to that.
