There is not a single fact recited in that story by which its truth can be investigated. The first thing a BS artist does is to make sure his story has nothing by which an investigator could find out the guy is lying. If he worked in a gunshop, he would know the town, the name of the gunsmith; all of which are conveniently omitted.
So the usual concocted story has some unverifiable "facts" to justify an unwarranted conclusion. This conclusion is that a damascus barrel just ruptures catastrophically without any prior indications. I suppose all barrels can do that, but posters here have shown enough photos of bulged damascus and fluid steel guns so that any reasonable person knows that his conclusion that all damascus barrels fail in that manner is nonsense.
I am not an expert in Parkers or guns in general, but I do know that many of these gun chat forums are sheer nonsense and as cocktail hour(s) drag on, the BS gets deeper. This PGCA forum, L C Smith and a few other moderated forums where the posters generally know each other and who is full of it and who is reliable, are the exceptions in a vast sea of internet drivel.
As an aside, there is some site for gun talk called a campfire cracker barrel. I think it should be renamed to beer barrel.
