I have the barrels from 57043 which are 10 gauge, 2-frame, 30-inch Damascus with a pre-struck weight of 5lbs., 11oz.
I have fit these barrels to my 2-frame DH 12 gauge which was originally made with 30-inch Titanic Steel barrels. I have also fitted a set of 30-inch Damascus 12 gauge barrels to it and I'm currently working on fitting a set of 26-inch Damascus 12 gauge open-choke barrels to it as well.
I guess it'll be a gun for every season and every reason. I'm really just doing this for the fun of it - not because I think it will ever be anything special.
