Rev,
After all this is your topic...and you have taught me 10X more about damascus barrels than anyone...I was hoping that you would say whether or not I'm adding to the understanding or whether I'm being overly technical. I figured that the biggest contributions I could add, is to dispell the erred concepts that damascus was never produced in America and the samurai barrel notion. I hope you see this data as positive advances in the understanding of damascus barrels. If not, just say so and I won't contribute further...Bob Chambers
