Yes I am quite aware of it being propaganda, just thought people would find it interesting .

Author is a bit misinformed, but that was the mindset of the day.
I don't know when the article was first written but it was reprinted in the subject magazine - looks like June 1950. .

The REAL problem with damascus barrels is once you have owned a gun with them even the most beautifully finished fluid steel barrels look pedestrian.

If any one is so inclined to throw your evil Damascus barrelled guns into the river, I have a creek on the backside of the homestead that I will gladly deposit them in the next time I'm out yonder that way. Just send'em along and I'll store them in Gun Room away from women, chilluns and the feeble minded until it is time to take them on a final walk about.
Spin P.S. No need to thank me for helping y'all out.

Gotta give the gentleman some credit.
Major J. W. "Jim" Houlden CD, Winnipeg Light Infantry of Canada https://www.queensmedal.net/files/houlden.htm He was a mechanical engineer and "ballistics expert" who worked for CIL I couldn't find a c. 1950s "OVAL" publication; likely Canadian? He was close with “It is estimated that the tensile strength...would run 42,000-48,000 psi.” My study showed crolle averaged 54,700 psi Burrard's 50X photomicrograph of etched (stained) crolle 20X nitrol etched specimen; iron white, steel dark 50X with silica, phosphorus, and sulfur ie. slag inclusions What he did not notice is that the iron and steel components have migrated and are functionally a mono-metal, without the mythical internal oxidation/rusting. The superior crack is at the surface of the specimen, and is within a steel alternee, not between the steel and iron.

Im only 26 and have yet only owned 2 damascus barreled guns so my experince with them is limited . Though it seems most people(not the people who frequent here of course) have this idea that the different metals in damascus barrels was just wrapped around each other or layered like lasagna noodles . When in fact arent damascus barrels forged welded when they were made ? That is what is see blacksmiths mention today when they are forging damascus knives about how the layers become forged welded or hammered welded together .
I had this debate on another forum were a fellow wanted to buy a 10 ga sxs muzzleloader . But everyone was telling him damascus guns are essentially pulling a grenade pin next to your face . |

That's what I was taught too growing up in the 60's and that thought went well into this century and many still believe it.
