You can't (or shouldn't) use them with smokeless powder. In the old days, they were the strongest and most expensive barrels available. The old "fluid steel" barrels were quite soft but that also makes them strong. Many 12 gauge Damascus gun's operate quite happily with low base light loaded smokeless ammo but it isn't recommended. There were many cheaply built Damascus barrels that are dangerous. No one makes light load 10 gauge any more........so I will load my own black powder shells. I can't wait to take it to the trap range. These were often used with large balls or buck shot as well making them a very versatile weapon. Expand some of the photos of the barrels on my gun....the pattern is very different and more beautiful than more common Damascus barrels. It took 2 guys days to make one set of quality barrels.......all by hand.I thought you couldn't use Damascus barrels?
I'll have my own K31 one day.
Just what I'd heard talking to various people, Argonaut covered the details though.?
