Antique Shotgun
Posted: 05 Jul 2015 10:28
I have one a friend purchased at an estate sale and wants me to get it ready to shoot black powder.
While cleaning the barrels I found inscribed on t6he rib between barrels ("Decarbonized Steel").
Now being at least a little smart when it comes to steel I have never heard of decarbonized Steel as all steel has carbon in it and the amount of carbon denotes what kind of steel it is.
Googling it you get about 200 different answers , anywhere from Damascus twist to high carbon steel.
Is there anyone here on the forum that knows what decarbonized steel really is?
Sure would like to know for my own information as well as my friend
