I'm interested in a French 16 ga Saint-Etienne Fusil de chasse which mentions "dolls-head". Ok, I know what this is in English but what is "doll's head" in French?.. - Do we have this in our list? Should we create an English-French equivilent?

Here's a few more I found in an old Raimey post:
Emouler de Canons de Fusil- Barrel Grinder
Polirer- Barrel Polisher
Regards Ken
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Argo, I'll look it up in my MF catalog. I can't recall right now. Ken, it would be "emouleur" (with an accent) and that word is VERY old. "polisseur" would be accurate. Thanks WC-

Well, MF was using at least between 1900 and 1930: "bande a tenon d'accrochage s'encastrant dans la bascule" or also "loupe d'accrochage etc." "Loupe" (magnifier) makes sense as it describes the shape of the doll's head as seen from the top. "Tenon" would make sense for a Greener type, but was used either way.
This is quite a mouthful. I'll have to look at other catalogues. The Belgians have something different more than likely. WC-

In most cases, people use: "triple verrou Greener" in the case of a double Purdey bite and a Greener 3rd, and "triple Verrou Purdey" in case of a Purdey nose 3rd bite. "triple verrou" would cover all other mechanisms. "quadruple verrou" is a more complicated system such as on the Ideal.
The simple doll's head is quite unusual actually.
Another word or expression is: "éjecteur/extracteur a grand développement" meaning that the ejector contact point on the hull is over 1/4 of the circumference. Normally found on high-end guns only.
Best regards, WC-

Agree with WC on "polisseur" for barrel polisher . . . although I've never seen it used in relation to guns.

Humm...I'll supercopy good firm definitions into the master list on page one. And I'm currently compiling an English-French version of it. But we'll need some good hard definitions to make it work.

Interesting that while we both refer to the heel of the stock, they use "beak" where we use toe.
