I have no clue why someone would make the case that either gun wasn’t safe. But, Damascus is ‘kinda like lutefisk, not everyone partakes. I don’t but, you do. Whatever.

The real threat is idiots who don’t pay attention to what they are doing, and load either type of gun beyond safe limits of pressure. Doesn’t matter if it is Damascus or steel.

Or, a Springfield rifle.

Best,

What springfield rifle would that be Ted? I've never owned a Springfield.
