I have a nice old 12 ga hammer gun with damascus barrels. I bought an similar gun that is not so nice for parts. Now I have a pile of parts left! I was thinking that I could use the breech from the parts gun to build a set of steel barrels via sleeving. No loss, the part gun's barrels are rough, inside and out. I know that it can be done, what I don't know is if the barrels would be OK for the low pressure smokeless loads that I intend to use in it. How well would the twist monoblock take rust bluing that would be correct for the barrels? Woould it be a two tone? The original barrels are in very nice shape. I would like to keep them that way by using the sleeved ones.

Thanks,

Chief
