Wow. I am impressed by the responses I have received from my original post. You guys are great. I live in mid Michigan, about 25 NE of Grand Rapids.
I have been storing this gun in a silicone sock, since it was given to me about 35 years ago. I pulled it out tonight and shouldered it, and it just felt so good, the balance, the weight, just everything felt like it was an extension of me.
I would love to carry this into the field, and shoot a bunny or two or some pheasants or take it to the skeet range and bust some clays.. I have done extensive research on Damascus, and learned that proofing a barrel can destroy it. I don't want to go there. My main concern is, will I destroy this fine firearm by pulling the trigger?
