Will Grade 0 parts be interchable with Grade 00 parts

Posted by William Halstead on December 4, 2019, 10:38 am

Looking to restore a grade O with Damascus barrels to fluid or steel barrels along with a needed forearm. I have noted grade 00 guns and parts are more readily available. Useful information is welcome.

if the same gauge parts should be interchable with fitting

Yes, 2 or 3 wrecked L C Smiths of the same gauge and same vintage should be able to be fitted together to make one good L C Smith.... What is wrong with the DAMASCUS barrels???.... Many of us routinely shoot our L C Smiths with DAMASCUS barrels with the correct ammo.... There have been several articles written and published concerning shooting 12 gauge DAMASCUS barrels safely and without any problems.... Jent.

Thank you for your response! The Damascus barrels have been cut down or shortened.
