Ted, those are two beautiful Darne guns! I always have admired them. Just wish they weren’t so pricey.

Three beautiful Darne guns, but, who’s counting? How ‘bout one more? ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/66422_600x400.jpg) Another French term for Gene. Gravure fond crux, composition becasse. Best, Ted

À gauche, une bascule avec entaillage (celui-ci peut être simple ou double).
À droite, une bascule sans entaillage.
Left - an action with "entaillage") (this one could have single or double)
Right - an action without "entaillage."
Come-on guys...what is Fab talking about...there are no arrows or illustrations to point to the detail. So, is "entaillage" the molded back portion of the A&D action? Is it the stock inletting. What's the difference between "simple" or "double"? One of you all should be able to identify this.

Gene,
The French word “entaillage” has several different meanings, but, in this case it refers to the notching on the back of the action, that meets the wood on the gun on the left. The boxlock on the right is straight up and down in this area, and less of a challenge to fit the wood to the back of the action. It will be cheaper, typically. Other than that detail, both actions are remarkably similar. More decoration on the gun on the left, but, the nuts and bolts operation is pretty much identical.
French gun making terms are a language of their own, and truly fluent French speakers/writers can become hopelessly lost in them.
Best,
Ted

Ah...and....ahhhhhh. Thanks Ted... By Gosh.....multiple terms for machining/filing and inletting on an A&D action. And we thought all those Eskimo terms for "snow" were superfluous. I'm trying to come up with an English translation that would fit for the vocabulary. I'll figure it out. And thanks for the invite to your next outdoor BBQ (I know you actually meant to forward it but forgot to write it down)...I'll be up in January after I get back from Africa. by the way should I bring a jacket along? Does it get chilly in the evening there?  Gene Williams

Gene Williams Several years past-that Setter is a huge pain in the ass to be around if she hasn’t had several miles of off lease exercise at an open spaces park. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/66423_600x400.jpg) Did I mention it was -47? That is ice on both of our faces. Balmy, as wind isn’t an issue at that temp. Thursday evening, venison burgers on the grill. ![[Linked Image from jpgbox.com]](https://www.jpgbox.com/jpg/66424_600x400.jpg) My wife and son are reluctant venison eaters, or, they were until I stumbled on this mix-2 parts venison, 1 part ground turkey, 1 part chorizo, seasoned with generic Montreal steak seasoning. Everything gets gobbled up, now. My neighbor came down and helped me eat two venison backstrap steaks, I swear they were over the coals about 45 seconds each side, seasoned exactly the same, to die for. Best, Ted _________________________________________________________________________________ Red can cuzzie, check, red grille brush, check, I know Lonny loves that color. Detroit still sucks.
