carried one of those in 16ga for many years ,really good quail gun. as far as the barrels go,theres damascus,then theres damascus.good damascus barrels are as good as any other,bad ones are unsafe PERIOD! these have good damascus barrels,and in fact were considered better than the steel barrels of the day,and you paid a premium to get them with damascus.if the barrels are not pitted badly,or dented etc,i would shoot it with modern lead ammo. and in fact i shot literaly thousands of rounds through mine.i wouldnt ever shoot steel ,or its equivalent,though.
