Dr. Drew: Just looking at those pictures makes me queasy! I have read about the curious idea of repaired damascus tubes being preferred over steel (there seems to be a number of curious ideas about damascus, both good and bad). As much as I have enjoyed looking at and even handling some of Mr. Stephen Grant's guns, I can't imagine that any material that has exceeded it's elastic limit is "as good as new".
Wow Keith...I hadn't thought of that one. Does "cold-working" actually increase hardness? Is that even feasible?
