hey Zippy, in 1879 in Scotland a bridge fell inthe river tay ,75 died thanks to the wrong use off steel,sorry for using the wrong words here, by pure I meant "quality" steel,200 years ago some guns still used bronze barrels
some guys swear to the originals ,but I think that is more nostalgic use off a gun ,I fired a martini -henry and swedish rolling block for manny years ,originals,,but at some time the bullit room had expanded and every time the casing was extracted there was a bulb on it,look at the san marco the pounds off led fired thru the barrel must be gigantic,I use it for 17 years every week or almost ,never cleaned with solvents but always used water and soap,and more important I allways use 40 grains off powder
I am sorry for the english since I live over the pond and it is not my language
to speak or write
