The K80s had a run of exploding barrels a few seasons past. I don't know what the reasons were, but, it happened.

I'd not be interested in hunting with a Perazzi without a young gun-bearer in my employ. Until they work for minimum wage, I'm out of luck, I think.

Still waiting for Geno to post some legitimate evidence of an actual defective Darne.

Suspect I'll be waiting a long while.

And I bet Geno's waiting to see your Moss'n'bug pump.

Maybe you can give him lessons on what to look for in a sleeve job?

You 'da expurt 'bout 'dat. 'Ain't ya?

I wish I still had that sleeved Purdey...but when a guy offers you hundreds upon hundreds of Moss'n'bug pumps in trade what's a fellow to do.

There is still lots and lots of sleevers out there for you, don't cry. Never seen a Mossberg sleeved, have you?

Well, I sure am glad you ended before saying "anything rude." Nice to keep things civilized and pleasant. I mean, this is the gentlemen's gun group on the net, eh?

I never claimed to be a gentleman, my roots are too blue collar to claim that. Sorry. By the way...how long have you been a member here on this bbs? I've been on here since 99' and I've read alot of post over the years...and certain people smack of elitism and snobbery and rudeness, Geno is one of them, has been since I've been here. Did you read his replies to my post?? What wasnt rude about that? And still, he has yet to prove anything he says...he post pictures from a article that claims to show a defective Darne, one picture of blown barrels that arent even from a Darne, and the bottom picture is of a blown drilling. And this clown has credibility? Why? Cause' he was friends with a true gentleman John Mann and wrote some articles for the double gun journal and post pics of Matskas??? He tells me to go bark at the moon and I call him the Rasputin of doubles and he gets all hurt feeling'd?? If John came on here and told me to leave Geno alone, I would. I respect John that much. Maybe go back and read how Geno responds when he disagrees with someones elses opinions or facts for that matter.
I treat people how they treat me Mr. Jakearoo, be sarcastic, come off condescending..thats what your gonna get in return. I dont bully people or start feuds, but I do have a propensity of firing back a salvo of my own when someone put one across my deck. Sorry if thats "ungentlemanly".

I think it was the late Bill Wise that befriended Geno, and wrote the article in DGJ with him, Dustin. John Mann liked everybody, from what I could tell. That said, I'm in agreement with you. The Russian guy has bad-mouthed Darnes for years, but, hasn't really shown anything specific to them to support his thoughts. When an idiot like the Tennesee clown says he doesn't like a Darne or a Mossberg pump, that's a good reason to go buy one, in my opinion.
Geno, come on, lets see some evidence. Anytime now.

Ted

All this over a French clunker....

Silly Moi!! I thought a French clunker was either the Chatcquat WW1 machine gun designed by a team of drunken Chinese acrobats, or the numbnutz who came up with the great Maginot Line concept after WW1- all the guns had fixed positions facing West toward Germany-didn't take the Wehrmacht sappers long to do the same thing we do when shooting wary woodchcuks- when he pops out of the hole and spots you, do a 180% on him, 99 times out of a 100 he'll be looking in the same direction as before when he does his "Up Scope" number-

Also recall what George Smith Patton Jr. said about the French- how he'd rather have one French division ahead of him than three French divisions backing him up-- Best movie line about the French (and I mistakenly thought Geno was a Russki- apparently he is a Frenchie- c'est la vie) was from the detective spoof movie about 20 years ago "Murder By death" Peter Falk plays a street tough Sam Spade in the "Clue at the Two-Two Twain" Mansion, and James Coco plays a swishy Hercule Periott-- Falk snarls at him (Coco) "Up yours, Frenchie!" and Coco replies saucily: "I'm NOT a Frenchie, I'm a Belgie!""
