Upon a bit of reflection, I can rationalize Brad Bachelder's reticence to sign a document absolving responsibility for the "danger" in Damascus barrels. He is a FFL licensed professional who deals in many of these guns. If he signs a document that recognizes their inherent "danger," then that document can be used against his shop in a potential legal action. Whether it involves the specific guns in question or not.
All it takes is some litigious idiot to put a 3-inch steel duck load in the wrong gun.
Of course, it's all based on a gigantic piece of marketing bullpucky, invented to promote the sale of cheap fluid steel gun barrels...
