Harry,

yesterday I observed multiple guys using Damascus barreled guns, all seemed to be fine.

I used 3 different guns, Twist barrels, Stub twist barrels, and Parker Laminated barrels, all worked seamlessly when I pointed them correctly.

Oh, and may I add, they were attractive to look at, much more so than plain blued fluid steel barrels.

I don't feel you will be convincing many of the gentlemen reading your posts that Damascus barrels are dangerous

Thanks for all the comments. I too like the gun, seems like mostly original finishes. I have bought several guns off Gun Broker and Guns International
but most sellers will not fully refund your $ if you have to return a gun. I will message the seller with some of the suggested questions. If he answers I will post his answers here. Thanks

He doesn't tell you which choke is for which barrel so if it is reversed chokes with IC right and cylinder left, beware.

Jerry, That was the first thing I thought also

The top and bottom views show a bit of a spread of the head of the stock compared to the width of the action. I'd take the stock off first thing and check for cracks or repairs in the head before I shot it.

That stock looks fine to me. Look at the area on each side of the upper tang. It's tight.
