It seems to me that when the manufacturing process is discussed, it's primarily historical curiosity at this point. Can't a pressure vessel, regardless of age, be subject to current ASME testing standards if someone wanted to do that. Do we know if current gun barrel makers are insured based on ASME guidelines?

I wouldn't think it would be logical to conclude that all non damascus gun barrels are collectively safe because the method of manufacture may be known. I apologize if you have mentioned it already, would you happen to have the DGJ issue of your rebuttal.
