Why does my mossberg 151k jam?

Could be dirty, could be the ammunition, could be a worn part. You will need to take it to a gunsmith to find out for sure.

It's probably the ammo. I put a box of 35+ year old ammo through mine and 80% of them jammed and that's being generous. I bought some new ammo and it hasn't jammed since.

What is the value of a meacham double barrel damascus shotgun?

I researched about it and it might be a western antique!!!! It is also from E.C. Meacham Arms co. It might be somewhere from around the late 1800's. If it is in good condition it might be worth somewhere around 3500dollars to 6500 dollars! I'm not sure but that is what I read on Google.

In what years were acier cockerill shotguns manufactured?

Acier Cockerill is not the gun manufacturer, but the maker of the steel in the barrels. It means the gun has fluid steel barrels and not damascus steel. It probably dates from no earlier than late 1890's through 1940. Cockerill Sambre is the major Belgian steel maker (equivalent to Krupp or Vickers)

What is the difference in a damascus barrel?

Damascus steel is made by folding a mild steel together with a high-carbon steel to make it stronger, and gives it a pretty pattern. Problem with Damascus barrels is that, while they work fine with low pressure black powder loads, modern smokeless shotshells are likely to cause the barrel to rupture, which is bad. If a shotgun has a Damascus barrel, it's very old and probably just a wall-hanger.
