Frankly I'm happy to see damascus barrels receive bad press by esteemed "authorities". The market for them is already way too high and as a public service I have been trying to take all of them off the market.......and into my collection.
I wonder if there is any way to get the article published in more widely read publications.....
Hell, anything is "unsafe" if it's pushed beyond its limits. the worst accidents I've ever seen with guns all had modern fluid steel barrels.
I'm going to maintain that damascus barreled guns in the hands of knowledgable shooters are safer than most any modern made gun. Rationale: we are acutely aware of the limits they have from their age and construction and treat them accordingly without playing roulette. The insanity I see reloaders casually embrace every week with modern guns is what really frightens me.
