Well after reading lots of information about thickness in Damascus and confirming pits were mostly 10” from breach, I shot some 6200 psi 3/4 oz loads through the old girl with great success ( I looked like a bad version of myth busters). Lol. Restoration will commence!Thanks again for all the information guys!

That is Great News indeed. With the fibre / plastic shotcups & wads, I would clean up the pits but probably not hone them too much. There is just something about the sound when you ignite a cartridge in pattern welded tubes.....

Raimey, my ancestors were also millers. When they came up to Canada after the Revolutionary War (picked the wrong side, LOL) from the lower Hudson River Valley, they built a mill that ultimately was deconstructed in the 1960s and moved to a pre-eminent historical "pioneer" village in Toronto where it is the centerpiece of the collection.

rse As I understand it, not the first mill in the family. Every Roblin in Canada is a descendant of the same family/couple that moved north in about 1793. I think they found their community in the Hudson Valley was no longer a comfortable place to reside, after the war. My branch headed west in about 1870, started in grain trading, moved into politics, lawyering and the car business.

rse  My grandfather was a home movie buff. We have home movies of my great grandfather at his dealership in the 1920's after he had retired from politics. We also have movies my grandfather took in the 1920's of he and my great grandfather driving from Winnipeg to Hot Springs, Arkansas where my great grandfather liked to spend his winters. Hard to beleive the roads they took cross continent.....lots of it looks like a two track. I'll leave it to you to put the thread bck on track! LOL

Ah, I can probably get us back on track. PeteM was peddling a movie of the Belgians attempting to preserve the lost art of making pattern welded tubes before it was lost to the ravages of time. Not sure where all that went....

rse Something makes me think Pete might have sent me a link to that movie. It sounds very familiar. This would have been 15 years ago roughly. He and i corresponded a bit about Henri Pieper and his various enterprises and endeavors.
