Receiver repairable?

Thanks, I see it. I see it, but I don't understand it. I think, as you do, that a shell sat in the chamber for a long time, probably with some help from water or other corrosive. Personally, I would be shooting that gun with no repairs. It's a shotgun, not a high power rifle.

That’s what I was thinking when I fired the right side and it blew the stock apart. No injuries, but it made me stop and think about life and my decisions for a second.

Not over thinking it does give a bit of perspective on the fact that replacing the hammer/firing pin may be all that is needed.
