TwiceBarrel, you mention something I've read and heard for a decade now and it seems to be as much if not more of a myth than Damascus barrels are unsafe; That one can get really sweet deals on Damascus barreled vintage guns because the vendor does not know that they are, in fact, safe to shoot and worth as much if not more than some of his other vintage guns with fluid steel barrels.
I have NEVER come across a situation where this is the case. NEVER.
Please understand that I am not attacking you, it's just that you happened to be the one who repeated this old chestnut that's been floating around for a longtime.
The situation has gotten to the point now where a lot of people are savvy and more often than not they'll charge more for a vintage gun with nice Damascus barrels than if it had fluid steel tubes.
Has anyone here ever been able to take advantage of a situation where they got a real steal of a deal on a vintage gun with Damascus barrels because the seller thought they were worthless?
I'm really curious about this. If you have profited in this way I'd also like to know, if you can recall, the year of the deal.
