I once asked one of the most knowledgeable gunsmiths in the south about looking in the barrel of a Damascus barrel gun with a bOre scope....his reply was that if I did I'd most likely never shoot it again.
The gun in question appeared to have pristine bores to the naked eye.

What happened to the Teague lining system? I've not seen an ad in quite awhile. It looked like a good idea on the surface.

And word has it that they went through a couple of barrel's walls in the boring process thereby ruining the barrels.

I'd be deeply disturbed if my use resulted in so-many additional "pinholes" in such short-order. I'm not sure I could continue to use such a firearm w/o considerable distress on my part. There is no way that simply shooting Damascus (or any other barrel material) would cause pitting or pinholes such as those being discussed here.

Isn't there another term for occlusions caused during the construction/forging process ?
