Thanks for the replies but I believe that I didn't state my question clearly enough.
Could damascus barrels be made today with enough automated maufacturing technolgy that current gunmakers could offer damascus as an option on their new guns (i.e. Ruger, Beretta, AYA, etc) at near the same pricing as their current standard models?
Or maybe the technolgy just isn't there for less labor intensive damascus manufacturing, or maybe not enough new gun purchasers would purchase the damascus version even if near the same price?
