Gentlemen,
As Bill commeted, research is needed. It is our intention to conduct controlled tests to investigate how much pressure and strain older barrels can endure without deformation or failure. The test protocols will be very important.
What is most important in conducting research in this emotionally charged subject is to leave those emotions behind and gather data for analysis. These tests will however take time. If we have agreed upon protocols we could establish multiple test teams are different locations. This would provide more data and potentially faster results.
We very seriously intend to publish our results.
If anyone desires to contribute their time, knowledge, or resources please contact me via PM.
Respectfully,
Mark
