Restoration of Fluid-steel and Damascus-steel Shotgun Barrels with Steve Wesbrook

This course teaches the proper procedures to recondition barrels of side-by-side shotguns,

including fluid steel and Damascus steel barrels. Approximately half the time would be

spent on metal preparation, including correct procedures for filing and sanding to base

metal; raising dents; removing pits from the exterior of barrels; honing bores; and, as

desired, opening chokes. The remainder of the course time would be focused on using the

slow-rust-blue process to refinish fluid steel barrels, and for Damascus steel barrels the

traditional process of bluing (or browning) and etching. As time permits, the Belgian rust-

blue process may also be taught.
