I wonder if Parker Bros. were still in business in 1966 would they have given the same advice.

Wow! Talk about taking it a step further, “not even black powder”
I can just imagine a good number of fine American turn of the century
skilled craftsmen in unison rolling over in their grave's in total disgust.

Note: HIS COMMENT" AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION IN WHICH SUCH BARRELS HAVE FAILED"
I SUSPECT THAT HE HAD A VERY SHORT LIST OF SUCH BARRELS
HAVING FAILED ,IF ANY. OF THE MANY THAT I KNOW OF THAT FAILED, MOST WERE STEEL BARRELS NOT DAMASCUS. HOW MANY THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS OF ROUNDS HAVE BEEN FIRED IN TWIST AND DAMASCUS AND FEW EVERY REPORTED?
