O.K., I have tried to stay out of this post, but Pete you struck a nerve with the words "promotional effort". You are far too kind. I believe that the manufacturers intentionally bereated composite barrels for the sake of profit. I absolutely agree that those warnings on ammo boxes caused the premature surrender from service for many, many composite barrels. Fortunately there is a growing number of us that understand what happened.
Composite barrels are the "state of the art" in shotgunning history. I don't want to know how many have been lost to ignorance, but I agree that the number is most likely very high.
