Very Interesting Damascus Topic Thread.

[Ray Masciarella]

Boldly asserted positions but not plausibly maintained. Tho I don't blame them for staying away from damascus since they really don't know enough about it. That's the safe course. PGCA should post a detailed check list of what to look for before shooting a damascus gun. Would be an aid to many, including me!

Ray, the check list is about the same as a person should use before buying or shooting a fluid steel gun. Notice how those guys on the open range site think a Model 97 Winchester is to be avoided? That is one scary bunch over there. I get the idea they are CAS guys, but then they profess to avoid CAS shooters because they shoot unsafe guns. Who are those guys?
