The broad knowledge base is subject to things like growing old and dying. Der Klunkermeister could have told you everything you wanted to know about your Brownings. But, he is dead.
But, that information would have come at a price. Right after he answered your Browning questions, he would have told you they were pieces of shit. Then, without being prompted, he would have told you a model 21 Winchester was a piece of shit, too. Then Don Moody (he’s also dead ) would have seen that and given a bunch of reasons why a 21 isn’t a piece of shit, why a Superposed wasn’t either, and it would go back and forth for half a dozen pages, and if you could ignore them insulting each other, you’d have a pretty good idea of what to watch for on the Superposed you were looking at, and, a whole bunch of information on Winchester 21s that you didn’t need.
Because, everybody already knows that they really are pieces of shit.
If you ask Facebook about those doubles you’ll get another good example of where information isn’t.
Best,
Ted

You know, I won a new Franchi O/U at a RGS banquet a few decades ago. While waiting for the FFL to finish with the bloke who won a gun before me, I handed it back to the dude who pulled my name out of a hat. I told him try to find three stooges to cough up $100 for a 33% chance of winning a new gun. He thought I was being magnanimous, and had $300 for that chance in no time.
Truthfully, I really just thought while handling it, that it was a piece of shit.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t say stooges. But, I thought it.
