DAM16SXS: That seems odd, did anybody say why they wouldn't work on your laminated steel Parker? What sort of repair were you talking about? As you mentioned, it is also my understanding that laminated steel was the most resilient of all the composite barrel types, with perhaps the exception of Silver Steel Damascus (Greener's).
Dr. Drew: I finally got the "2-fer" you were talking about above (on the pre-1890 F grade Smith hammer). The upper tube is clearly twist, the bottom tube is the laminated steel.
