gunut,

I'm not looking for a heated argument, just to understand the meaning of your comment. Referring your Ralph Nader analogy..."Unsafe At Any Speed."

Does this mean Damascus are unsafe at ANY pressure?

The DIS-PROOF of this notion is shown above. Shot within spec, they last for generations. And when tested, they survived WELL beyond proof loads, and WAAAAY beyond the types of +-7,000 pressure loads most guys shoot.

If, as you suggest, one would "most likely be O.K."...then how are Damascus guns as unsafe as a Corvair, which was taken off the market?
