Thank's for straightening me out Drew. ButI am still hesitant about shooting Decarbonized Steel barrels. Just my own opinion.

"America's Oldest Gunmaker", Remington, was really in the gun barrel and parts business for most of the years from their 1816 birth date up until just before the Northern War of Aggression. One of the earliest pieces of Remington paper that the Remington Society has come up with is an E. Remington & Sons 1854 broadsheet listing their cash prices for barrels. They offer --
MATCHED BARRELS for DOUBLE GUNS, plain iron------------$4.50 MATCHED BARRELS for DOUBLE GUNS, stubs twisted plain---$8.00 MATCHED BARRELS for DOUBLE GUNS, stubs twisted fine---$10.00 MATCHED BARRELS for DOUBLE GUNS, cast steel------------$8.00 BARRELS for DOUBLE GUNS, cast steel, solid or drilled from single bar-----$15.00 BARRELS for DUCK GUNS, from 20 pounds upwards -- 75 cents per lb. |

Perhaps Tom Armbrust and Sherman Bell could be talked into doing the same test they performed on Damascus barrels, but using a Parker marked 'Decarbonized Steel'. Given that they had to take the loads all the way to the mid 20,000 psi range to burst a set of Damascus barrels, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a 7000 psi load out of an otherwise good set. I have yet to see any published information that emphatically states that decarbonized steel barrels are unsafe, and suspect there's some urban legend involved, much like the old legends of damascus barrels.
