". . .It's like what you do to a three year old who is acting up to get attention. You can't always give him a swat on his bum like he might need. But if you just ignore him he will stop because even a three year old figures out it is not working. You need to remove the attention they are getting. First step is to not show it. Second step is to not talk endlessly about it. Don't debate it just stop paying it any attention. By that means you will have taken away their platform . . .

It's funny how things sometimes have a way of playing out old colonel. In a rare and timely coincidence, the answer to your earlier question about what I may have contributed to this thread by pointing out Jagermeister's false claims about guns he has claimed to own popped up in another thread on another forum.

In the Classic Rifles forum, there is presently a thread entitled "H. Barella 7x57 Mauser - Tight Chamber?" The author of the thread asks us for opinions on what to do about a fine pair of custom classic Mauser rifles he has purchased, and the 7 m/m apparently has a chamber that is too tight for SAAMI standard 7 x 57mm Mauser ammo. He also provides several photos of this lovely pair of rifles which he now owns. He tells us that he bought the pair on auctionarms.

H. Barella 7x57 Mauser - Tight Chamber?

Pay close attention now to what can happen on the internet when someone dishonestly claims to own guns that they do not actually own:

Completely off topic, did you know this set is for sale on Armslist for $1900 out of Michigan:

Caveat emptor!


Wow! Did you see that old colonel? How would you like it if you had sent some unscrupulous seller a check for some fine rifles that were being auctioned or sold on another firearms website by someone who didn't actually own them? This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Once people start lying to you, there is no telling where it may lead. This could simply be a case where the original and legitimate seller had these guns listed in more than one place. If you tried to buy them, the seller might tell you he has already sold them and they are no longer available. Or it could be a real case of attempted fraud which has happened to many trusting souls before. So I ask... would you buy a used gun from this man?

Remember, this is a guy who has also told us that he no longer hunts. But if you notice little inconsistencies like this, you will get branded negatively by other flaming Liberals like Last Dollar or rocky mtn bill, because they don't give a crap about decency or manners or the truth... they only wish to protect their own kind. It's not at all surprising to see the anti-2nd Amendment Liberal left troll King Brown stick his nose into this. Little King pretends to IGNORE me, but obviously he can't. Perhaps it's time to re-post several direct quotes of his anti-2nd Amendment rhetoric to shut him up again. And we've seen the pathological problem Little King has with saying things that just aren't true. A normal person would be ashamed. I've saved lots of examples if he'd like a harsh reminder. Care to see Last Dollar's idea of manners and civility?

A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Just what you'd expect from a Muslim loving liberal....the creation of a safe zone inside their own headz.


Gosh Joe . . . this Muslim loving liberal was in the Muslim world as an intelligence officer 40+ years ago, when Black September was quite active. Understanding Muslims better than a lot of folks, based on having lived there, studied Arabic etc does not = loving Muslims or Islam. But intelligence officers are supposed to understand the culture and the people of the countries to which they're assigned. Guess you never heard of "know the enemy". Kinda helps you figure out how to defeat them. But hey . . . back during WWI, it wasn't very popular for German Americans to speak German. In fact, it was made illegal in some places. Guess some folks just couldn't get their tiny brains around the idea that having some of those German Americans in the military might come in handy . . . interrogating PW's, translating captured documents, etc. No sir, no one should be speaking that evil Hun language in this country!

I thought maybe we might have grown up a bit since then. Then along comes Joe . . . easy to understand why he's homeless.

Yikes, so much for the one or two bad apple mantra.

Well this thread sure took a turn for the worse . . . Oh, well, just goes to show you that an appreciation of fine things (double guns) does not necessarily equate to good manners.

Anyway, last night I pulled the Buy-it-now trigger on what I hope will be a lovely shotgun. It was presented as a Stensby English Double. The pictures weren't the best but it's clearly a boxlock and appears to be in decent, though somewhat aged condition. Stensby was a Manchester-based manufacturer/gun shop that began in 1810 and lasted until just a few years ago. Supposedly the gun has 2-3/4 chambers. I'll see it tomorrow. The seller only lives an hour away.

Maybe it would be best to let this thread drop out of sight but since you wished me luck . . .

I met the seller today and took possession of the gun. It's a bit rougher cosmetically than I would like but the gun is sound. It locks up tight. It also seems to balance and handle nicely. It has 30 inch barrels, the left being choked. Bores are "pretty good." Chambers are indeed 2-3/4. Looks like it's had some (amateur) work throughout its life and the buttstock appears to be refinished. The only "Stensby" anywhere is on the rib -- the rear of which has turned brown, providing a rather unusual contrast to the still-blue barrels. I wonder if it wasn't a Birmingham gun that was finished out (or simply labeled) in Manchester.

Had I seen this gun in a shop I might have passed but it was a Gunbroker deal. I don't think I'm hurt any. The gun is worth at least what I paid and probably a bit more. Plus it came with a nice case.








ETA: Found this photo of Stensby's shop. I believe they closed sometime around 1990.
