Yes and the comment he originally replied to was one of me asking if there is a functional reason to rebrown a set of damascus barrels in response to him saying there is no functional reason to recase a gun. My point being that many things people do to refinish/restore these old guns has no actual functional purpose.
Typically when people speak of rebrowning their damascus barrels it is simply because the pattern has become too faded, very rarely does it come up in topics on this board that they are rebrowning the barrels because they are afraid they are going to rust from lack of protection.
I am not disagreeing with him, just discussing the finer points of the topic.
