Hello, Drew, glad you are well.

Why you feel the need to throw up the "protection picture" ?

As far as I'm concerned Missionaries are the worst evil to ever set foot on this planet...the natives were right to chop off and shrink their heads.

Back to Damascus....

When you first became infatuated with Damascus you did not own or shoot one...stop trying to make me out a liar.

Why do you think that image was for you Frank? But BTW the Gurnall was.

You've proven yourself to be a liar again.

Dr. Drew loves Damascus barreled guns...yes sir re.
He just doesn't own or shoot one.

Present tense Frank. And you are not very good at this.

So please share what emotional gain you derive from your (now pitiful) attempts to hurt, denigrate, and bully others? Does it somehow make your own pain better? Or are you such a sociopath that it is only by hurting others that you can feel any joy?

Just got off the phone with David. The gun was an 1877 Purdey 12 bore hammer gun with 30" barrels. Hammer's had been replaced with Purdey hammers off an old gun. His best French walnut had gone into restocking it. It was to be rechecked and re-engraved. It had first been owned by a Yorkshire industrialist. The barrels as far as he could tell was in perfect shape, no pitting, no dents.

The left barrel blew 2" from the muzzle. It curled the rib back onto itself. He acknowledge that this would usually be caused by a barrel blockage; he doesn't think it was the wad - modern plastic wads don't stick in the barrel. He's a bit mystified. He has photos and will try to send me some. At the same time he and "Steve" are writing an article about it for "Shooting Sportsman." I used Dr. Drew's name and he recognized the expertise and will send photos later this afternoon.....maybe. (Maine has 12" of snow on the ground at this moment).

He is pondering what to do with the gun. He could cut the barrels back to 28" and be done with it. However, he believes longer barrels shoot best with Damascus. He is in contact with a former Purdey and Holland & Holland barrel maker in UK who makes new Damascus barrels. Bill Blacker. www.billblacker.co.uk. It would cost $4,000 to make a set and he doesn't know which way he'll go.

I'll post photos when/if they arrive. I told him I respected the article he plans to write but there are a lot of us who shoot Damascus and RST and that Dr. Haus has done a lot of analysis of barrel blow-outs. It might be good to have a second opinion.

And Dr. Drew, don't feed the troll. He is no Southern Gentleman; We have a 3 word phrase for people like that down South and it starts with "Poor"... and ends with "Trash."

Did you drop a "1" off the price of new barrels? Last I knew steel barrels were 10,000 GBP from Blacker.

No...that's what David told me on the phone. I haven't a clue. Perhaps it was a special price for him...or he made an error speaking on the phone...or I misheard "4" for "14." He was awaiting a phone call from Blacker. I mentioned to David that Drew also has done a lot of work on Damascus here, trying to get the photos from him.

I guess you didn't get the memo. The preferred moniker is 'Deplorable'. Unbelievable.

To this point, I had a modern plastic wad get lodged in a .719 (tight 12) damascus barrel about halfway down the bore. Fortunately, the guide heard it and I didn't clear it with a subsequent shot.

Anyone that thinks a plastic wad won't get hung in a Damascus barrel either doesn't know chit from chinola...or has just miss spoke or forgotten.
