I hope when this list is finished someone lists and alphabetizes the list for English terms, since the list appears to be intended for English speakers.

Regards
Ken

Here is the first cut of English to French double-gun terms. it's easier to go from an acquired language to a native language (in this case French to English) than vise versa. Plus the two languages are structured differently. French is more US Military - think, "trousers, cotton, padded, OD, 1 each" vs "one pair of padded cotton olive drab trousers" so if you have a hard time finding a term, find the noun and it may be a sub entry. And I'm not sure I actually know all the English gun terms the pros use or are interested in. Finally for the French nouns, without the articles it's not real French. So welcome all corrections.

Well Argo, first of all let me tell you that you did a hell of a job here. I live in Belgium in the Dutch speaking part but I speak also fluent French. I will wait your final version that you gona post and if I have some comments I will try to help you.
For the moment, if I was in your place at the translation of BREECH, movable (Darne)- Culasse mobile . And just because you mention Darne this is more correct " Culasse a mouvement linéaire".
Cheers, greetings from Belgium, Marc.

Marc, Merci et dank je. I've added the alternative to "Breech" above. I lived for three years in Brussels in the 1980's - my youngest son was born in Ixelles, Brussels almost on the same day as the Belgian national day. Gene

Great work, Argo! I need to take time to go through the whole list carefully. Just a couple quick ones:

blond walnut would be noyer blond (masculine noun)
Technically, gachette (which has a circumflex) does mean sear, but it seems to be used quite often (maybe slang?) to mean trigger.

On French news tonight, the news reporter from Jerusalem used "gâchette" to describe the hair trigger situation. It may be used more often to refer to devices which have a trigger which are not firearms there are definitely gun references too.

appuyez sur la gâchette - pull the trigger (get started)
un dispositif à gâchette - trigger mechanism
gâchette facile - trigger happy
souplesse de la gâchette - trigger pull
...but also
poids de la détente. - trigger pull

Added in the English-French section.

Gene, I have read your compleet translation and maybe it is good to change the following : centerfire gun= arme à percution centrale.
Coil spring = ressort à lames (not ressort a bodin) and also mention, spiral spring= ressort spirale. Handy = manouvrable. Side plates= the only correct translation is Fausses- platines or contre- platines.
J'espère que vous me pardonnerez ces améliorations.
Greetings from Belgium. BTW I write also many faults in English.
Marc.

Merci, corrections added. I'll need to repost the original French list from the first page in order to add a few more words found in gun ads on Naturabuy.com.
