Carl here, another question about Darne's. Someone awhile back told me that the disc's on the sliding breach of a high end Darne are called Obturator Disc's and are designed to seal the shell in the chamber when the breach is closed, thus insuring......what? Some people have said it is a safety thing, or it reduces the recoil or...?
I've never had a problem with any of my Darne's, with or without the discs. The only difference in recoil appears to me the direct result of the butt plate or pad you use. Can someone educate me?
