The English always had or have trouble building stout guns for waterfowl hunting and handling those stout waterfowl loads, everyone knows that.
Of course, for the last few centuries or so they built guns that can handle loads that can take down an eight ton elephant, a five ton rhino, a four ton hippo and a few two ton cape buffaloe, but those stout waterfowl guns to bring down those 4 pound pit bull like Canadian geese, yep, that's beyond them. Good point Treb! Of course, wrOng-agAin-jOe just wants to change the conversation to the strength of English wildfowl guns and from the fact that hE got the maker, the action, the lockup, and the hinge pin all wrOng on the Gallyon in this thread: See wrOng-agAin-jOe argue about English made action with actual English gunmakers How could anyOne so ignOrant be so arrOgant?
I am glad to be here.

Thanks Mike. All those poor guys over in Africa having to suffice with those old worn out English built guns probably a hundred years old or close to it, but still knocking down dangerous game left and right, those poor guys, they don't know what they're doing.
Someone better go over there and Ed-U-ma-cate them. Learn them up good.

Why does ol' stUpid keep offering opiniOns on that gun? hE was wrOng about the maker. hE was wrOng about the action. hE war wrOng about the lockup. hE was wrOng about the hinge pin. Who would think jOe knew anything about doubleguns, much less English doubleguns, and much, much less that particular English oublegun. See wrOng-agAin-jOe argue about English made action with actual English gunmakers How could anyOne so ignOrant be so arrOgant?stUpid is as stUpid does.

Total and complete bullshit again, Buzz. The only even slightly negative comment leveled specifically at the BSS sidelock in the entire thread was that they weren't a collectable yet. I didn't say it.
You did.
No one threw mud, in any way, shape or form at the new owner, or his gun. A few folks had mentioned they had owned them and sent them down the road looking for lighter guns. I pointed out that it was quite likely the guns didn't fit them. A gun that doesn't fit someone has nothing per say wrong or inferior about it, it simply doesn't fit that particular human.
If pointing that out is slinging mud, God help us.
Best,
Ted You certainly are fond of butchering the King's English with the crude term 'bullshIt' which you have used 3 times in this thread alone, there Ted. I'm beginning to believe you don't know how to utilize proper English. Improper English, guttural responses and condescending replies, such as 'downright ridiculous' are most unbecoming.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Out and out lies are more unbecoming, Buzz.
Eat your mud.

I've lied about nothing. Go look in the mirror, Ted and take a real, real, real good look at 'downright ridiculous'.

RE the case color, jOe, of course everyone knew it was a joke and that you knew they were real cyanide colors. In terms of the Mossberg and cheapness, you may have something there. Ted does seem to prefer cheapness, as evidenced by getting his wife a single shot hammer gun to shoot. Not sure the type, but I'm guessing it's one of the old junker single shot hammer guns......you know, like the ones you see at Cracker Barrel over the fireplace. He even poo pooed getting her a Franchi, the old 20's aren't even that expensive, only about $500. Why not a Franchi 28 for the wife if recoil were a problem (or a benelli) but the shells are likely too expensive, alas, a single shot hammer gun for the poor girl. ;-) Boldfaced, out and out, lie. Shall I continue, Buzz? Ted
