[2kchevy 3]

what are you trying to play? Whatever it is, just download VLC media player, that bish plays everything lol.

[JimJ 11]

VLC's much lighter on resources than Winamp or WMP, I <3 it.

[2kchevy 3]

I use VLC a lot, it plays pretty much everything I've thrown at it.

Is that a Damascus barrel?

Out to go shoot my .17HMR

i've been thinking about a 10/22 in .17hmr. just to have one.

doesn't look like a damascus barrel, don't see the "twist" in the steel, though i know in later ones, that might not be as prevalant. IIRC, damascus also went away right after intro of smokeless as it can't handle the pressures of smokeless.

"Laminated steel" and "damascus" is the same thing. Use extreme caution.

in knife making, i can see where laminated and damascus is the same, but in shotguns...

Some old shotgun barrels (usually on double barreled guns) were formed from wires that were wrapped around a mandrel and forged and welded into shape. This leaves a visible wire pattern, similar to a fingerprint in the barrel and such are referred to as "Damascus Barrels". Guns made with Damascus barrels are significantly weaker than fluid steel barrels, and more prone to corrosion and failure due to the welds along the length of the barrels. Damascus barrel shotguns should be examined by a qualified gunsmith and proof tested before use, to ensure that the barrels are sound before using the shotgun. The use of modern nitro cordite shotgun cartridges in an antique damascus barreled shotgun would cause the barrel to fail with dangerous consequences. Damascus barrels are only proofed for the use of traditional black powder which has much less ballistic energy than cordite. Damascus was used to manufacture shotgun barrels as choke boring was not mastered. It was far simpler to forge and weld the damascus around a mandrel to achieve the choke than it was to bore a fluid steel barrel. Choke boring was finally perfected by W.W. Greener near the end of the nineteenth century.

but i believe what similiar in the two, is the "welding".

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wow...thanks

last night dad was talking about his dad and the shotgun (the dbl barrel), his dad always said he didn't like it because it had a "wire" barrel but neither of us knew wtf that meant. Now we do. After reading about this i think I'll just clean it up and put it aside, doesn't sound like something i want to be shooting even if it checks out. Though i might clean out one of the stevens.

[vladd 26]

just shot the damn single shot with a 3" shell, i don't have much shoulder left.

[Godsmack 361]

DAMN man.........with how tiny u are, I'm surprised ur shoulder ain't broke

get it checked out and shoot it with some blackpowder loads. that would be pimp. but, and mike mentioned this too, make sure you get it checked out before you shoot it.

and a 3" in a single shot, lol. that had to thump, lol.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I could go for a Snickers bar right about now, me need candy now

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

I think I feel like eating me some Taco Bueno....cause its like.....MORE BUENO....and stuff

[///M5 2,833]

I've got a 26oz porterhouse defrosting. Probably make some gnocchi with homemade pesto to go with it.

[topgun 262]

I learned to shoot on a side by side 16ga, thats a lot of kick for a little kid (I was probably 10 or so, and little).

[2kchevy 3]

lol KC had a chance to win but blew it. Oh wells.

[Chevy350TPI 12]

Not looking forward to doing this conference presentation on the integration of baseball. Going to be a big one, which = a lot of work, which = a lot of time.

[///M5 2,833]

All Day, Adrian Peterson sets the single game rushing record. Gotta love it if your me anyways.

[2kchevy 3]

D-mac had 300 and something yards at the game yesterday. Set an SEC record

[///M5 2,833]

I expected more fireworks in the Colts Pats game.

[DevilDriver 28]

Peterson has some good power but very surprising breakaway speed. Great day for him.

[MKader17 332]

I'm very freaking disappointed that I have to watch the Texans/Raiders game because I live close to Houston. Then my friend is an hour down the road at his dads and they are broadcasting the Colts/Pats game

[MKader17 332]

This is how I get to "watch" the game instead< Yahoo Fantasy StatTracker

[Chevy350TPI 12]

I'm lucky I compared supplement prices between stores in Canada and the US. With the dollar the way it is now, even with shipping, it was much cheaper to order from the US.

[topgun 262]

I'm hungry...
