I do make my own damascus but was thinking of maybe some pipe hawks. I'd rather keep it as a gun.

good choice Larry - depending on the condition of the bores and the engraving this may well be work restocking - or look for an old take off

since you show the action open, can we assume the foreend iron is still there?

as a former F&I re-enactor - good pipe hawks material is scrap muzzleloader barrels

Beaver Bill used to do them from scrap sections he got from Getz, the one I just sold still had rifling in the bore, not sure if pieces would be available from Rice or Colerain.

Not sure what the foreend iron is?
