I have not yet seen a post that says that Ken can't get a 16 gauge shell in the breech of the original gun. The book says it is a 16 gauge gun, I think it is a 16 gauge gun, and posters are appraising it as a 20 gauge gun. Ken, a 20 gauge DH grade Damascus barrel gun in worth about half again as much as a 16 gauge Damascus barrel gun. What gauge is your original Damascus barrel gun? It is one wonderful gun and we want to give you a correct appraisal.

OK, Ken's 3:15 PM post on 8-30 says that he can't get a 16 gauge shell in the Damascus barrels and there is no sign of sleeving. I guess the original gun is a 20 gauge. Now Ken needs to get the gun in the hands of a Parker expert with a set of bore gauges. It would be worth it to Ken since a D Grade 20 gauge Damascus gun is a very coveted gun in Parker shotgun collecting circles.
