I was going to stay out of this since I own and shoot lovely damascus barreled doubles, albeit cartridge. But the "Belgian" aspect of the tubes just wouldn't let me sit tight. Another poster said it best when he spoke of "good barrels being good barrels". If you are able to get this gun at a low price, pleae make sure the barrels have been proofed and are A-OK. My familiarity with proof marks is limited to British barrels only, but I'm sure you could find someone with the expertise with Belgian barrels to check 'em out for you thoroughly before you just go ahead and shoot the gun after a quick "look-see". I'm NOT saying the barrels are unsafe - I'm saying you should make sure they ARE safe. Thanks - Marc
