Is anyone else planning to bring a SxS barreled with DAMASCUS or TWIST? And/or any hammer guns?
Will we have enough for a squad of "oldies" shooting together?

Probably most of us qualify for the oldies squad regardless of our gun barrels.

I'll be bringing a Coggie hammer damascus, and a Belgian SLNE twist with British proofs and my Lang, with damascus barrels too. All 12 bores
If some has a spare sound pair of damascus barrels suitable for sleeving onto the Lang and could bring them to Flatwater that would be good.

Only got one hammer gun, a Winny (or Winnie?) 97, aka Winchester for those who can remember the rest of the letters in a name.
That's also the only of my shotguns that knows how to break a Chandelle target. :(
Barrels?

Those old Damascus barrels are just not antique and classy enough for me.
So I'm going ONLY with mosaic steel barrels so my gun will match all my fine knives!
And ONLY in the extra-large hammer models! :D
Jim Wurtz has stopped all knife work to sleeve a set of mosaic barrels onto a nice ol' hammergun for me. It's gonna be mighty Purdy, I think!!
Hope it can be shipped up from Argentina in time for Flatwater!

Damascus? Twist? Laminated? I'll be wearing the flak jacket that my uncle brought back from Vietnam.

I'm sure that Larry Harwood will drag along his new to him Damascus 20 gauge Parker. We've all been living dangerously as he has been shooting it regularly at skeet for the last few weeks.

Yea Brent, I got a Sour Drilling on that little deal, I think I had best hide it behind the Kitchen Door. It is less than "Cracker Barrel" condition. :(

I'll drag along a couple old Parker beaters, and maybe one of those new fangled Browning two shot autos that I found in the back of the safe.
