doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Pristine and minty - the field grades

Wait, wait.
The point is they are old doubles. We all know that for the most part, field guns were the same basic guns as the high grades just in different pants. We can admire the art of the engravers, the slightly better fit and finish and the beautiful old wood on the high grades. And, we can equally, but in a different way, admire the guns themselves as mechanical things.
The field grades are non-the-less things which mark a time in man's history which coordinated the evolution of metallurgy, chemistry(gunpowder) and mechanical engineering with the social, cultural and hunting development of civilized man. A field gun can be a kinetic work of art. Just swing it and shoot it. Open it and close it. Put it together and take it apart. They are functionally beautiful and important historically.
I think that is what draws most of us here together.
Otherwise, we can just go get a modern gun and shoot it at whatever is left to shoot.
Am I ranting?

Queen Lowell and homOjoe are just a couple of lonley mos who live too far apart to get a hotel room where they can both have their way with Lowell's Remington 1900. Lowell even has a pet name for his objects of affection "Remmy" and "Brummie" and "Boss Pair"...He just wants to taste Remmy's mechanical fluids, what's wrong with that...Queen Lowell would have his way with your double, if homOjoe would hold it down for him...

This is how I am going to respond to every Queen Lowell and homOjoe post, until they decide to allow me to return to neutral academic postings...until they say "truce" I'm going to point out all the object erotica that drives these objectophiles...in fact I'm even going to hang some unfair/non-applicable bullshit on them, like they do to myself and others..

Mr. Chambers:

Please do not write anything more like your recent post. This is a wonderful forum where we can all learn something about a subject and hobby very dear to us. I understand that there can be some annoying posts tacked on to very worthwhile threads, but that doesn't mean we should retaliate like you are. I think if you let it go, in time, it will die of its own accord. You will drive away any support you may have for your point of view if you continue with this kind of writing. I am an eager student when the contributors are worthy of my attention. Pleae don't dissappoint me.

Hey Queen Lowell and homOjoe,
How do you like me now? Get out here you bitches and defend yourselves or say truce...either way, if you don't let me be, I will continue to play it offensively JUST LIKE YOU...now get your gossipin' butts out here and tell everyone that will no longer continue bashing me...you can put this whole matter to rest in less than 5 minutes. One thing for sure, I was not going to let you take advantage of the already established decorum at the "Damascus explained" thread, which is exactly the shield you exploit.
Now get out here and declare the conditions of a truce, meaning that you will promice to keep your mouths in check so that I may follow suit...in fact, I must insist that you agree to treat everyone with decency...c'mon ladies...where are you?

Ed Pirie,
I truly apologize, but where were you when HJ and QL were posting Povlovian crap about me a few days ago? Why don't your standards apply to these jerks? Why didn't you ask them to stop? Do you enjoy it when they do it to others, or were you simply unaware? Does your ignorance of their behavior now give you clear perspective enough to deter me from requesting a truce?

Too bad...I want a truce...even if I have to hammer it out of them...

Did it ever occur to you that they could end this in 5 minutes if they wanted? Don't you get it? They get off on this stuff! That's why they choose to attack a different member every few weeks...please don't enable these cyber wankers any further and ask them to stop bashing board members.

Ed,
Are you kidding me with this quote?

"This is a wonderful forum where we can all learn something about a subject and hobby very dear to us"

Do you know that homOjoe actually accused a photograph of a black worker, at the Deforney factory, of stealing the gun being discussed, one piece at a time...in support of Lowells theory that the Deforney double rifle was a "lunchbox" special...

These two racist dogs bring liability to this bulletin system...and they strike from behind a supposed sheild of decorum...suppose a black collector had read those postings...what about a black kid....and you want to defend these vicious racists...what gives?

nOw he's calling us both racists dOgs again...

As far as my comment that you say is racial....it was a jOke. That's all...ever hear the song Well Fare Caddilac.

Get your mind out of the gutter Robert'O...if that's possible.

Only thing yOu'll hammer out of me is a headache...better take 2 aZpirin and call dOcta jOe in the AM.

Why not just ignore HJ & L in the future? If you buy into their stuff, it only promotes more of the same and in this case, it takes three to tango.
