    Well the Damascus is the way to go because of its strength.

    Sorry but the Nitro proofed barrel is better than the Damascus. The Damascus barrel is ancient technology.

    The Damascus Barrel is the Weaker Barrel...Not made to except the More Powerful Smokeless Powder Loads and Pressures of Modern Shells....

    We can't fault the Young Man, as He may have been taught erroniusly that the Damascus Barrel was the Stronger of the Barrels...Thats why us Older Guys have to have the Patientce and Courtesy to teach The Kids the error of thier ways...I would like to think that WD would drop one of us Older Members a Personal Letter asking for an explaination as to why the Barrels Differ....and allowing that person to be a Teacher to Him...! and therefore learn from that experiance and become a useful and intelligent Member of our FORUM.....
