Mr. Oliver:
Dean is correct. The materials you got with the gun should be considered "collectibles" and not used. Especially the brass cases. Brass often has a tendency to "age crack" and/or embrittle with time. This is why various armed forces sold off ammunition after so many years. The didn't consider it reliable any longer.

Best to stay with current components if you intend to shoot the gun. And an inspection by a competent double gunsmith would be advised as well.
