I saw this posted on another forum about doubles with soft soldered barrels.

" I would not advise shooting the guns for long strings of targets in hot weather either. Getting them too hot to touch from repeated rapid target shooting is risky."

Is that really true? If so, how much shooting is too much?

During the summer I try to get out as much as possible with my Fox Sterlingworth 16 ga. and shoot trap or skeet. I usually shoot about a 4 boxes of shells, and I do have to wear a glove on my left hand because the barrels get hot. Am I risking damage to the gun?
