I can't answer the question about safety of shooting decarbonized steel. I have a back action with these barrels. The barrels are good but the gun is a project in pieces. If I ever get it back together again I won't personally be in a hurry to shoot it. Getting my ear pierced gave me one to many holes in my head.
If these are indeed musket barrels, there are certainly a lot more muzzleloaders out there still stuffing powder and ball down these barrels. So I ask those more experienced what are the barrel wall thicknesses and pressures in these muzzleloaders compared to a lite shotgun charge and load? This is another approach to the question of safety of these barrels. For a long time shooting Damascus in all its forms was heretical. Now we have a growing group who appreciate shooting Damascus with proper loads. By the way that is one fine gun and case with accessories. A beautiful find. Best, Erick |
