I think his point was, if he can use the parts gun breech for sleeved barrels, then he can shoot to his hearts content using that set of barrels on the good gun action, setting the good gun's damascus barrels aside and not using them at all. OTOH, if he has to use the good gun's damascus barrels to shoot, then he's likely to either use them to ruination or have them fail at a most inconvenient moment, turning the good gun into a second parts gun.

But, if he can afford sleeving the pats gun barrel set. he probably should go ahead and do it. He seems pretty set on using this gun for (a lot of) shooting.
