Apparently you've been slamming me on a forum. What do you think may happen to a old double that was fired with a 2 3/4" round in a 2 1/2" chamber. Much more of a problem. Ithaca Gun Co., Inc. "Custom Shop" restored case color on all doubles, and single barrel traps with a special gas with a torch. This is way less heat than in the furnaces for case color. So you must think that the master gunsmiths that taught me are idiots also. Be careful what you put on these forums that might be interpreted as slander.

I replied that it's only slander if what I stated was false. Since I only quoted him directly (as here) if the statements are false it's because he gave me false information.
