Good one Raimey. I need to update that list and in particular add the "m" or "f" to the nouns. Will work on it during the shutdown. I assume "boudrole" is feminine - "une boudrole?"

Argo, you well know but I was chasing >>Galand Nose<< or �Fermeture Li�geoise� to differentiate it from the >>Purdey Nose<<(Triple(Verrou) Fermeture Syst�me Purdey??).


Do you feel as if you are living the >>Argo<< movie, living in a cellar with the COVID19 playing the roll of the Iranians?

>>Bulletin de la Soci�t� li�geoise de litt�rature wallonne<<

That above link was noted as the Walloon dialect from 1894, if anyone is interested.

Sort of in the same vein, can a Sidelock shotgun be equipped with a Greener Crossbolt/Boudrole? Or are they commonplace?

Cheers,

I guess better stated on this thread, a sidelock offered with the phrase Triple(Verrou) Fermeture Syst�me Greener.


You see:

Triple(Verrou) Fermeture Syst�me Greener

Triple(Verrou) Fermeture Syst�me Purdey

Triple fermeture � h�lice tres robuste

etc.

But what I am looking for is a diagram of:

Triple(Verrou) Fermeture Syst�me Li�geoise or Fermeture Li�geoise

Sertisseur - Shotshell crimping machine

Added (since the word is also used in the jewelry industry):

It's also mentioned in various sites as:
-- "Sertisseur pour le rechargement des cartouches de chasse"
-- "Shotshell pince � sertir pour rechargement"

-- "pince" - means "squeeze"
-- "pince � sertir" - crimp in the gun term

-- "rechargement" - reloading

(In English following the above... my French wife has created the word "Squinch". Instantly understandable by the way...DON'T TRY TO SQUINCH INTO THAT PARKING SPACE...tu et fou!!!).

Gene, I could not find boudrole in any of my French dictionaries. Nor is it one of the words listed in the "Petit Lexique Technique" included in Pierre Fonteneau's "Les Armes de Chasse a Canon Lisse et Leurs Munitions". I've left that book next to my computer so I can check your list against what Fonteneau has included in his.

Thanks for your efforts. French shotgun cranks appreciate it.

Speaking of which . . . I recently passed on the chance to buy a really nice (and fairly modern) French 16 from Gastinne Renette. Had relatively few proofmarks compared to the short novel you find on some French barrel flats, but it did carry the St. Etienne triple proof. Stock was too long and too high for me. Otherwise I'd own it.

Thanks Larry. "Une Boudrole" is one of Raimey's Belgian finds having to do with a Greener cross bolt. I sort of silently thought of it as a "thingamajig." Probably highly specialized. Sorry about the Gastinne Renette but no sense in buying something that doesn't fit. Interesting that it had St. Etienne barrels. I sort of associated Parisian makers with Parisian or Belgian barrels.

I love French gun catalogs. They always manage to get a picture of a pretty girl with gun in there someplace.

Gene, I think we may have discussed this particular pair before:

I've looked at them numerous times. A lot of quality there. But stock dimensions cause me to think I'd definitely want to have my hands on them before making an offer.

Hi Raimey,
The book this comes from is fascinating, but it documents use of "patois" i.e. extremely local (and dated) vernacular. I sincerely doubt anyone has used these words in the last 50 years in this almost dying local industry...
All the best,
