Kaveman, I new of a 50 gallon metal barrel full of ''Blowen'' Damascus barrels, most likely some are 10ga.
Are you interested in blowen barrels ? I will check with the fellow that had them, but most likely he tossed them
in the garbage. Will let you know if he still has them.

Dirty Harry

P.S. They were all blowen out right about where your hand holds the barrels. I hate to think about all the
''Mangled Hands'' their must have been.

if all you want is are the 10ga bbls, put 12ga bbls on it and sell it.
heck, someone may want it w/o bbls for parts.

I beg you, leave this gun alone. I’ve yet to understand what you are doing with this.🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree with John. And the OP also said it seems like a shame to cut it up... and it is.

There are other 10 ga. Damascus barrels out there that are pitted and in poor condition, that can be bought for a scrap price. But even as I type this, I know there is probably someone out there cutting the barrels of a salvageable old double in order to make a Coach Gun or table lamp.

We can't save them all, but we certainly shouldn't encourage it.
