If you spent the equivalent of a "used Citori priced gun", you did Exceptionally well.


More like "a graded used citori".

The barrels have been shipped to Pete Mazur and his state-of-the-art ultrasound-barrel-wall-thickness-gauge or what ever he calls it. I wish I had taken better barrel pics to show how stupid some gun owners are. On the side of the left barrel close to the muzzle someone tried to "blue" what was an honestly worn area, at least he recognized his mistake before attempting to re-blue the entire barrels. There are heavy "brown" areas that looks to be an old lacquer finish or a re-finish with the wrong color. Hence the reason I ask what was the correct Damascus color.


Also, are Damascus barrels typically thicker than steel? With my bore gauge and micrometer the barrels are between .09/.08 which is more than twice the thickness of most steel barrels.
