Welcome to the forum, George. You certainly aren't too bashful to offer opinions.

However, there are many holes in your argument that I am not willing to put forth the effort to address. But I will offer one quick question............why do you think damascus barrels are any more "unique" than fluid steel barrels? Individual fluid steel barrels rupture at times, too. If they weren't "unique" too, all would either blow up or none would.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
