It's interesting to me to see that even here, folks are still frightful about using "composite" shotgun barrels (as you call them). I've owned, shot, and hunted going-on a dozen of these Damascus guns since those Sherman Bell articles were published in the mid-1990s and I've never had an issue with any of them. Fear is a funny thing, isn't it, even in the face of solid scientific (& even British) proof.
So-many guns had their beautiful Damascus barrels butchered or replaced just so they could be sold here....it's just a shame. Oh well, it made for exceptionally good buys on those guns for me for many years (I suppose I should be greatful for the whorish "sporting press" [doing the bidding of the big gunmakers during the Great Depression] for publishing those baseless articles in the 1930s and 40s ).
