I guess Roster, along with everybody else in the world, is entitled to his own opinion. But to state your opinion as 'fact' is as wrong as your (Mr. Roster) flawed opinion - which must be based on rumor and conjecture, as he has probably not had any personal experience with a Damascus gun's barrels failing when he was shooting.

Mr. Roster, your opinion, in the case of Damascus barrels being collectively unsafe to shoot, is pure sheep-dip.
