Jerry, If you go to Pintail Point this week-end you will see many damascus barrels in action. I will be shooting a 1975 10 ga Parker in the Black Powder event but I also shoot nitro in that gun. David

My heaviest bbl'd gun is an 1883 twist bbl 0-grade 12ga hammer gun with 32" bbls. I feel safe shooting just about anything within reason through it, that being any factory 2-3/4" 12ga shell of 1-1/4oz or less. I've shot quite a few old 3-3/4dram 1-1/4oz loads through it with no issues, and I do check it after every session with those shells.

Robert,

That is a beauty. I have a #2 frame Lifter that is a dream to shoot and is choked .030 from both .802 bores. I am pretty sure the barrels have been skimmed or reamed.

Calvin,

I am sorry that Bruce struck you that way. I met him at the Southern about five years ago and he could not have been any nicer of a fellow to be with or shoot with.

Jerry, a lot of valid points were made in this thread. Now I know that Damascus, Twist or Laminated barrels in good condition are very safe with many recently manufactured cartridges. On the other hand, I do not feel as though my manhood has been compromised by using RSTs or Polywads in my 2 Lifters and Syracuse LeFever. Sherman Bell's articles in the DGJ sold me on the strength of non-fluid steel barrels. I read everything I could about the subject and decided that my guns were worthy of a second lease on life.
