I am just amazed at how those original artisans cut into damascus steel to inlay the silver. I would imagine that twist-core steel would be more difficult than mono-steel.
I doubt that these pattern-welded barrels received a heat treatment that would make them harder than decently treated monosteel of western origin. If you can work out a good bore for a barrel of almost 1 meter, the engarving for the inlay seems more like a piece of cake to me...
