Quality damascus barrels can be safely fired with low pressure smokeless powder loads. The information is online.

I am not saying you should fire the double, but you probably could. You might even be able to find a replacement hammer for the right barrel.

For the trouble... You can purchase a state of the art Keltec KS7 Pump 12 gauge bullpup for under $400, on sale.

That number needs to grow.

You never know when it might be “needed”.
