Damascus barrels made the traditional way

Brno's description of the process:

"The Damask barrels production method follows technology of ancient gunsmiths, i.e. welding and forging of ribbons of multi-layer steel and iron sheets. Thereafter, the ribbons are coiled around a mandrel to form a helix and welded on it in a monolithic Damask semi-product. The whole operation of this type is quite challenging as it consic of manual forge welding of steel and iron on fire. In the following step a special technological method modifies the Damask barrel blank into state of the art damask barrel. Such Damask type barrels are suitable for fitting on modern hunting firearms and for shooting with today's ammunition using smokeless powder. Each of the Damask barrels made here is a non-interchangeable original piece since manual procedures cannot make two identical barrels. Damask-barrel BRNO98 rifle is supplied with calibers equal to the standard models of BRNO98. The rifle can be even more tailored (hand-engraving, etc.), if required by the customer."

This is the old way and not the modern tecchnique used by Damasteel in Sweden and their associates Gobec in Austria.

Also, those who have access to the latest issue of Double Gun Journal, please read a comprehensive comparison of the strength of Damascus with Fluid Steel barrels where the Damascus barrels come out stronger.

I now know that there is a logical basis for my affection for Damascus barrels!
