Sorry to hear of your Baker problem. I seem to recall seeing an article or thread that had pictures of a damascus barrel that failed in a line along the rib. When the ribs were taken off there was heavy, heavy corrosion, especially where the bottom rib met the barrel. IIRC the consensus was that acid from the etching process on a barrel refinish was sealed inside the rib void with moisture and that caused the corrosion. Does anyone else recall that? It may be my memory is just playing tricks on me.
