doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Shooting Damascus barrel ?

Dr. Drew, Glad to see you posting. I Have missed your thoroughly researched posts for several weeks now!

A man of the cloth wouldn't tell a little damascus lie would he ?

I do recall you telling me you didn't own any damascus barreled guns but I dont recall your added tid bits of damascus fame to finance a 4 & 1/2 day mission trip you now claim...Maybe I should say a prayer for you doc.

Ever notice how those old damascus barrels just don't sound just right when shooting gauge mates in them with modern ammo ?

Betcha we'll soon see a terse come-back containing something about St. Ambrose and cajones.

I've never tried any of the gauge mates. Bought one of the Savage .410'ers real cheap at a gun show a long time ago. Shot a few shels from it & boxed it back up, it's still on the shelf somewhere. As I recall is was about 9" long, had steel chamber & aluminum barrel & fit a 16 gauge. Added around a half pound to the gun. Too easy to load a 16 down to 3/4 oz of shot with out throwing the gun out of balance & better patterns also to fool with them 'Dapters in My Opinion.

Most of my "Welded" barrel guns over the years have been 12's & I mostly use 1 oz in them though have loaded heavier at mild velocities & pressure, but I don't fool with those Super low pressures, if a gun won't take around 8K its a wall hanger as far as I'm concerned. Cold weather squibs taught me my lesson on that out in a duck swamp back when lead was still legal fodder.

Being somewhat of the Lazy sort I do most often load smokeless for my Damascus or Twist barrels as clean-up is so much "Cleaner" & easier.

Yes, but black powder impresses the peasants so much more at dawn.

Black is cool but the cool factor wore off for me pretty quick when the day ended and cleaning time came with the temps in the teens.

I mostly used 10 to 12ga. guage mates In a nitro proofed 10ga. and with modern ammo (it threw beautiful patterns with Winchester AAs) to me the barrels just sounded or felt different than with a 10 ga loaded with smokeless powder. In my opinion the 12 to 20 gauge mates were a waste of money.

I'm not a liar Frank, unlike Keith's new BFF Dave Buehner. After the Table of Contents in L.C. Smith "The Legend Lives" there is an Acknowledgement page and oddly, being such good friends with Houchins, Dave's name does not appear.
Well done on donating calls to St. Jude's BTW.
Here are some pics from the May trip you might enjoy. Just missed the eruption of Volc�n de Fuego

Who is Dave Buehner?

Suggesting that I have a BFF named Dave Buehner isn't doing anything to support your contention that you are not a liar.

And what in hell does a tax deductible long weekend in Guatemala or a volcano eruption have to do with double shotguns or Damascus barrels?

I was sure we'd hear something about your cajones or St. Ambrose again, but I was wrong.

However, your bizarre and disjointed rant does lend some credence to what SKB said in another thread about insufficient funding for Mental Health care. Unlike Owen, I did not miss your repetitive copy-and-paste Google research.

Disambiguation much Keith, or just psychological projection?

"Wow Dave, only 46 posts, and you're already rolling in the dirt with the rest of us heathens!"

BTW: I've said plenty of stupid stuff on this Forum since joining in 2006, frequently proven (often by me) to be wrong. But my offer from last fall still stands. Prove with a cut and paste from a thread on this Forum that I lied (purposely deceived or fabricated an untruth) about myself or my guns, and I'll gladly make a donation in your (real) name to the NRA ILA, and I'll throw in a donation to St. Jude from Grand Slam Turkey Calls. And it's not my responsibility to prove my veracity, or justify an opinion regarding your character.
You might start another thread however, or not. No forum moderators here.

Gee Drew, you make it so easy.

You obviously lied by suggesting that this Dave Buehner guy is my BFF. I don't know him, never met him, and he is not my friend. I don't even show any affinity for him by agreeing with his notions that L.C. Smith's are the best gun ever made. By the way, it is a violation of the Rules of Conduct for you to invade his privacy by posting his full name here when he apparently prefers to use a screen name. Who are you to put him and his family at risk of being robbed or worse by thieves trolling the internet? And you obviously still don't know what psychological projection is. You also don't know what "Disambiguation" means either. It sounds as if you've been reading Cosmopolitan Magazine though.

Do you really want another lie, deception, or untruth posted here by you Drew?: I gave some to you in my reply to you in my post #517671 on 7/5/18. Here's a link so you can refresh your feeble memory:

But I wouldn't want you to donate to anything you seem to abhor by asking you to not be a welcher and make a donation to NRA-ILA.

I'd be happy just to finally get an explanation for your absurd accusation that I somehow proof texted Scripture in your 2016 "Down One" personal attack thread that was framed around some big deadly dangerous medical mission trip to Guatemala (with "eternal significance", no less), which turned out to be nothing more than about a 4 1/2 day (presumably tax deductible) long weekend. Or how about that absurd accusation that I brought reproach to the name of Jesus by confronting you on July 5th? Do you have some Messiah complex or something?

And I'd also still be interested in knowing how you reconcile your dishonest insistence that we would be less likely to engage in personal attacks if we posted under our full names, when you went on to personally attack James M. multiple times even though you know him personally, hunted with him, and even socialized with him and his wife. Did you think going into hiding for two months would make me forget all that?

Also, you never told us why you changed your tag line which read:

"Personal attacks only reflect the inadequacy of the argument, and the character of the attacker."

Of course, you were still using that hypocritical tag line when you launched your personal attack on me, Jim, and DaveK. But naturally, with your moral superiority, why would you think that applied to you?

No need to start another thread. My opinions are based strictly upon what you post here. I can confront your apparent dishonesty and hypocrisy wherever it occurs.
