I'm still trying to figure out why most Belgium SxS's made during this time period were clunkers....yet the same Damascus barrels when put on American guns become first rate ?
Pete is it safe to say that the Belgium made Damascus was made like an assembly line then possibly graded by an inspector?
I also noticed where one poster said they were "proofed"...I was under the impression that the raw Damascus tubes were not proofed for export ?
I do know American gun makers didn't proof their Damascus barreled guns like the English did.
