Ed, I think that even a 242,000 serial number gun is "old". And I agree with you about going easy on 60 year old wood. I shoot both damascus and fluid steel guns and we know that barrels both composite or fluid will go through strain cycles of firing.I just don,t see a need to shoot hot loads through them.
