in reading differant books several authers said that the 1883 colt was the most expensive shotgun to make in america...i think all were built withdamascus barrels i have never seen or read about one with fluid steel barrels...most gun books give a sad report on them saying remember these are strictly black powder guns i believe this is why some folks pass them by...but they are like the rest of older guns with proper loads they can be used and shot....charlie
