Default Damascus Barrel

I am in need of a damascus barrel tube for some testing I would like to conduct for a future Parker Pages article. A piece 6-8 inches long would be fine and it does not really need to be a Parker barrel it just needs to be damascus steel. The most usable would be from the breech end or mid bore but I will take what I can get.

Dave; when I get some time tomorrow I'll get the hack saw out and cut an oblique saggital plane section out of one of my AH 16 ga. 0 frame 26" tubes for your study. Anything else you need?

Dave Fuller,I'm doing some research on machining damascus steel. Turning vs. grinding.
