There is a reason why I am infusing a bit of life into this already elder thread.
- Firstly, it was and still *is* (among the slightly more experienced cognoscenti, not in the Tiktok generation) considered very good style and 'Net tact, not simply to open a new thread and bleat forth, but to search a forum or message board (in the past: a mailing list archive.... oh the glory that was BITNET !) firstly, and to look for past answers, instead of immediately asking anew what was already treated. Hence, I tried to use the search function, and was ultimately almost lead to this thread.
- Secondly, this thread contains interesting information about older 24 gauge cartridges cases (hulls) and their varying rims, which should remain accessible, and this means, undusted.
- And thirdly, I was look for one possible posting by the (still active) veteran participant " @old colonel ", who some time after this his posting here above, may then have acquired his own 24 gauge at long last, namely a French boxlock, as I seem to recall. Allow me to inquire with him: any pictures of that gun would be much appreciated?!
Thank you, Carcano
