You stole my thunder Brian. I've seen K80's, Brownings, 870's and a M12 barrel ruptures all do to operator error. With all due respect my friend Harry keep up with the warnings about Damascus barrels. It will drive the price down to where you might just buy one for testing.

You must be thinking of someone else, as I do not have a son.

I would not hesitate buying a Parker small bore min wall of .022, many are in that range. But as Edgar said, I keep the recoil and pressure low in all my vintage SxS's.
