Guys,

I believe the rifle is 8x57JR or .318. I will run a plug and cerrosafe the bore just to check. I am sure the rifle is nitro.

Regarding the Shotgun barrels, they are Damascus for sure. This being the case, wouldnt BP be the only option? I know of others that use low brass modern ammo in their Damascus shotguns but that isnt for me - too dangerous... not worth it. Anyway, I would rather have a gun to shoot BP.

Please correct my assumption on Damascus if incorrect. Also, the barrel has a tiny bit of corrosion. How can you assess the level of safety regarding light pitting inside barrel on Damascus?

PS. These could be dumb questions, but I dont want to chance a slight disaster. :-)

Thanks,

Kcordell
