I would throw out another bone to chew on. IF damascus barrel are so weak and dangerous,why aren't all the gun shows littered with examples of guns,even JABC's, with blown barrels??? Instead they are littered with old doubles that rattle when shaken,with missing hammers and broken stocks,obviously subjected to serious abuse and Lord knows what loads,and yet the barrels,even badly pitted remain
intact. I too have read the warnings on the manufacturers shell boxes all my shooting life, and thank them for contributing to my collection....


Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought stupid,than open it and confirm.
