OP Mark Larson Sidelock Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 978 Likes: 51 Oregon	I was showing off my 1880's vintage hammer gun recently and I had someone comment that he would never shoot something that old because he would be afraid the steel would be too brittle. Even though my gun is in wonderful shape and that isn't something I worry about, I can understand his retiscence. At what point, if ever, would steel barrels become brittle enough to make shooting them unsafe, no matter their condition? www.marklarsongunart.com www.marklarsonart.com
