Well Drew:
The information you posted above certainly points out a couple of things I've long suspected wern't factual.
1.They didn't know at the time of production the fluid steel was stronger than twisted (damascus) steel. This is in spite of any recent "Research" to the contrary.
2.The myth that damascus barrel production was curtailed($10.00 per set) due to it high cost when compared to fluid steel($15.00 per set).
3.The theory that Firearms manufacturers only made the safety of damascus barrels and smokeless powder an issue to sell more new guns.
