Andy,
Thanks for becoming a member of the parker forum. I recently purchased a gun with damascus barrels. Before I shoot it, I will take it to a gunsmith and have him check the entire barrel walls for thickness and he will let me know if its safe to shoot in his opinion. I know very little about old guns, so I am extra careful. The first old shotgun I purchased I took to a gunsmith and he showed me a repaired spot in the barrel which I could not see, and he could barely see. He said it was a good repair, that area of steel was only .015 thick, and the gunsmith did not recommend shooting it. I am glad I took that gun in first. I only shoot r.s.t. falcon lite shells in my oldest guns. Good luck,
