Thread: This week we test a old shot gun for steel shot

re.damascus.some modern guns are being made with damascus barrels,including purdeys. i shoot lead through damascus barrels without a problem.they are as strong or stronger than many steel barrels.however there may be unsound damascus barrels,unsound for a variety of reasons. if unsure don't use before getting an expert to have a look.and no,not many of these can be found at gunshops. best bet is a gunsmith who specialises in shotguns.
