new guns for Christmad

Got brand new Henry yellow boy 22 mag lever gun with octagon barrel. I bought my dad a colt saa 45 colt late 2nd generation! tried to comment on other posts but couldn't figure it out.

the real saying is 'damascus' barrel

No the real saying is just what he said octaganal Octaganal = 6 sides
Damascus is the type of steel that was used in old firearms. BTW Most damascus barrels are not proofed to shoot modern ammo and can split w/ enough force to injure the shooter if modern ammo is fired in them. Most shotguns and rifles unless they are very high end models didn't have true damascus barrels anyway as damascus barrels are hand made and very exspensive.

AHH E-man ya got the material right, but don't octy stand for 8?? maybe im wrong! Capt Bob

CAPT Bob nailed it!

Octagon = an 8 sided polygon
Hexagon = a 6 sided polygon.

Good call on the materials used in the DANGEROUS Damascus barrels.

They make knife blades out of damascus too.

guess that's why i never had geometry???? LOL
