i figure if someone took time to custom order a WR with bolstered receiver......he must have known something the average guy didnt.
He might have also known that break open side-by-side guns don't have receivers. They have frames. Revolvers don't have receivers either. They also have frames. It's firearm terminology that is very commonly misused, even by people who should know better.
Pump guns, bolt actions, and auto-loaders do have receivers. Some single shots such as falling blocks, rolling blocks, swinging blocks have receivers, while break-open single shots have frames. I'd opine that sliding breech shotguns like the Darne should be considered to have receivers. Receivers have various components that feed ammunition into a chamber. Things like bolts, carriers, floor plates, breechblocks, magazine tubes, magazine wells, feed rails, etc.
This may create a new shit-storm. Dave might even wish to censor any possible arguments before they start, because heaven forbid we upset any thin skinned panty wearers on a gun forum.
I won't lose my mind over anyone's insistence upon clinging to incorrect terminology... like Dr. Wanker's melt-downs over the interchangeable terms "water table vs. action flats." But at least he never said break-open shotguns had "receiver flats".
