Tim,

Ive quoted, above, only a section of your quotation from Spanish Best because I thought it was especially interesting in the context of this thread.

As Im sure you know by now, Larry has his definition of an English light game gun (said definition centered on the gun having an A&D or H&H action), and I have my definition of an English light game gun (centered on the weight of the gun relative to its chambering).

Now we have a third definition; a side-by-side sidelock with straight grip, splinter fore-end, and double triggers.

Notice none of the three definitions agree :-)
