Thankyou for putting this crying baby down, DH. I see nothing particularly wrong with the formulation "false sideplate"; false in this useage suggesting intention to deceive as in "False-hearted Lover".

LG, you're hard on brand-name enthusiasts and ecclectics alike. Lefever is heating up a bit; I like them and will until I can't afford to be in the presence of a DS without dressing for the occasion. I also like Charlins and there's no massbuzz (to the degree you can produce same in regard to a doublegun) there. A long gun is like a short driveway; you can't ride em to heaven.
