Where can you get damascus shotgun barrels rebarreled so that you can shoot the gun?

It is possible that you might find a newer version of the same gun with fluid steel barrels that would swap, but I doubt it. You would probably have to have the barrels sleeved to a smaller gauge and the extractors modified. A good gunsmith with a full shop of tools should be able to do this. Check the yellow pages. The damascus barrels are not the only reason to be cautious about shooting an old gun, so a smith should check it out anyway. If this old scattergun is one of the top tier names, it MAY be worth the cost of any improvement, but if it is just an inexpensive Belgian import c. 1900, it would be cheaper to pick up a used Stevens double to shoot and hang the old lady over the mantle.

Some are, some aren't. If it has Damascus or Laminated steel barrels, do not shoot it. They were never intended for modern powder. Fluid steel or later production barrels may be safe, but if there is rust, dents, or other signs of high wear do not try it until after it has been inspected by a competent gunsmith.

What kind of shells can you shoot in a sam Holt damascus double barrel 20 gauge?
Most old Damascus barrels cannot hold the pressures of modern smokeless loads. I doubt that you will find any black powder loads for that type of barrel. Hang it on the wall and admire it.
