JC: Female spectator killed in accident with police moto at The Big Loop today. Hincapie in break; virtual yellow shirt on the road. Haven't seen the finish yet; couldn't watch morning feed. "There are other things in this world besides guns," said the penguin when offered an AR. Like fish.

Jack, this is supposed to be a serious forum for research and information regarding all that pertains to guns and shooting. Based on your latest post,you should be ashamed of your self.

Yeh, I'm filled with self-loathing, Roy. Take a bit of time and review the gossipy asides of the serious birds who roost here and you'll find that my totally irrelevent and digressive comment to a fellow member is very much in the mainstream of what is permitted to members and always has been. If you have consistently abstained from the indulgence of gossip and personality smack-dab in the middle of the collected wisdom (maunderings) of "serious" men, more power to you.

Lapin Well said. No one complained when I discussed my daughters heart condition 8 1/2 years ago and occasionally I am asked for updates. It is easy enough to skip over innocuous posts such as these. BTW - Today's stage at the TdF rocked. Go Astana!

If we could get back to the subject of checkering. The flat top checkering; Is it peculiar to Scott guns? I don't recall seeing it on Grants or other London guns. In fact I don't remember seeing it on many guns from Birmingham or the provinces either. Can someone educate me on its use.

Roy is correct. There is a Misfire Board a few paragraphs down for non gun and non topic related.

Roy is correct in that Roy has lightly rulered me across the palms and Daryl agrees that it's deserved. Daryl is correct that there is an off-topic area. God bless me, I hope the next time I want to talk about guns, the muscle car crew can take their multi-page memoir de hot rod over there and keep it out of MY thread, but I don't imagine that will happen. Anyway, thanks for the reminder of how things are supposed to work and my small role in preventing them from doing so. Don't get lost in your checkering-gazing!

I think what we Americans see allot of is English guns that have had their checkering worked over by American gunsmiths.

Thanks for answering,Joe. I too thought that,but, I have not seen this checkering on the London guns shown in Holt's catalogues,or on guns posted on web-sites of Brit dealers. The only examples are those Scott guns posted on this site,and my Monte Carlo.
If CC/DT is monitoring this,please save me the dime and tell us what's what.
