I have run across a gun I am interested in with nice 12 gauge damascus barrels. The gun shows proof marks for 1 1/8 ounce nitro but the min BWT is .022. In a steel gun this would not really concern me shooting 2.5" lite shells but wondering what others think in a damascus gun? The barrels are at least 100 years old appear to be in original condition. I did not measure these myself and have not heard back on if this is a single low spot of a consistent measurement and to where exactly down the bore this occurs.
Side question, can a gun not be considered best quality if an under lug protrudes through the bottom of the frame?
Thanks for any input and I recognize this is a hotly debated topic... I am not looking to start an argument but just hear a few opinions (hopefully based on actual experience).
