Yes, of course - or sub-gauge tubed, or for a 12 bore, Teague-lined. But I was answering the original question: "At what point do they become too bad to work with?" No one had actually answered the question that I could see. My answer was an attempt to explain how to arrive at that determination. I had chosen sleeving as the only solution for the Parker 28, and even made an attempt to contact John Foster about it, but for now I'll wait. Maybe Teague will one day offer their services for other gauges (wishful thinking...).

Or he could buy it and shoot it...


Then imagine he's are a Kansas street cleaner.

Thanks, and from us here at "Hunters Ranch" a Merry Christmas, Happy and Prosperous New Year, and Good Gunning to all...........

You know, my wife is PMS right now. Damn. Doesn't matter what I say, its wrong. I always thought this was some female physiological condition that concerned hormones and cramping. Now, I wonder if she has "internet advice discussion disease?"

Merry Christmas.

So here we have a guy--Last Dollar--who shoots a Lefever Twist regularly and claims to own a Parker DHE 28-bore on a phishing expedition...or as I called it, a private joke. Or as he puts it in retrospect, a test of the system. Is anyone laughing?

In the bad old days of anonoyminity on the first Parker BBS, we'd have the occasional large-breasted dumb-blond widow lady who claimed to have found a tiny Parker in the back of her closet and ever so credulously would solicit information and finally, playing the pundits like a violin (or a fish), the otherwise unknown person would finally raise the stakes by seeking help getting rid of it--"Don't want no gun around the house." An amazing amount of time was spent debating the legitamacy of the postings, some defending the putative "her" as if she was a Vestual Virgin, others claiming fraud. I think we have been defrauded here. Last Dollar ought to be ashamed of himself. Is there some way to block his further pap? EDM

Let's not be too hasty to endeavor to block pap from this BB....it could completely ban some of the world's greatest experts from posting. (If I should have capitalized -World's Greatest Experts- please consider it done.)

Last Dollar, I am sorry that you never really got an accurate answer to your question. The fact about Damascus barreled guns is that they are truly dangerous to shoot. Even if you couldn't see any pits in the barrels, a small undetectable pit could be dangerous. So, as someone mentioned, having a gunsmith look at it wouldn't do any good and if he were any kind of a gunsmith, he would probably tell you not to buy or shoot the gun. On this board, we had one of the best damascus barrel experts by the name of Oscar Gaddy, before he passed away. Even he agreed with the fact that if you proof test a gun with damascus barrels, you could damage the gun to the point where it could blow up in your face. So damascus barreled guns are a no win situation. You could sleeve it or put Teague liners in it, but you wouldn't want to drag a club through the woods, now would you? This is the answer someone should have given you. I think some of them did...... Someone brought up the disorder of PMS. I guess the reason I have been single/divorced for the past twenty five years is because someone told me that the reason they named it PMS was because they had already given the term Mad Cow to another disease. Now I have this miserable disorder. And there is nothing I can do about it. So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, Last Dollar. Sincerely............Denny Crane.

So, Last Dollar, should we be leary of your future posts, assuming they, too, may be as your describe-----

" just wanted to see if you guys were on your toes, and to give some of the contributors? a chance to reach their pomposity and arrogance quotients"

Hardly the fellow friends , who were your hunters, describe. I'm puzzled.

"quotients"....Is that an insult ?

Good question, Daryl. I'm quite leary of many questioning posts and reply only with technical and historical answers until the questioner becomes "my best friend". Then I open up like a sinner on his deathbed.
