This was a discussion about a Spanish maker, not often seen. There were good photos and a good discussion. Kyrie has a pretty good grasp on Spanish shotguns. Glad he shares it, here.

This one is 'sorta developing, but, Rocketman can get pretty close on value, without even seeing a photo of the gun, amazing. The only other place you would see this, is somewhere else he posts:

This post has lots of information about a seldom seen English maker. Some of the gents from England that post here are capable of finding incredible info on makers you don't hear of every day of the week:

Here was a thread about an unmarked gun from Belguim. If you had gone there, you would have seen a gun that was exceptionally high quality, and has no name on it. I've always wondered about guns that simply reek of quality, that never had a name on them. Who built them? Why was a name left off?
I was glad I got to see it:

A thread about good, old, depression era American guns. Had you paid attention, you would have learned the material a couple of different models were built of, and the differences in lockup. One point I meant to add to the thread, but, never got around to, was that either design, the NID or the Nitro, if not in need of repair (these guns are most of 100 years old, and often used very hard over that time) is a great gun to just go hunting or shooting with. My Nitro 16 had a crowd gathered around it, last time I was at the range.
I'm going to set a disabled friend up with that gun in the very near future.

Now, that I've taken a minute or three to show you some posts that featured all kinds of good solid information on double guns, can I take just one second to point out what you have contributed to the site, in your above post?


Nothing. Zip, nada, zilch.

I hope upland journal comes back up real soon, so you can go back there. Hopefully, your posts there are actually worth something. I wouldn't bet on it, however, and don't care enough to bother looking.

Best,
Ted


And here you go making my point for me Ted. Thanks. There is a bunch of good info on here as I said I have found before. Only yesterday when I logged on I clicked on what I thought would be a discussion about BSS's of which I have not shot one, but I did own the Miroku version at one time. By the time I waded through all the BS on that thread I wasn't really interested in checking out the other threads. Figured it was going to be more of the same.

If this is the way all you guys enjoy your forum then keep on keeping on. I am just surprised that the majority of forum members here like off topic discussions. I can't imagine that you will attract many new members, but maybe you don't want too.

Since it seems you guys don't mind threads that aren't about the original topic or that are necessarily about double guns then I feel it's not ridiculous to ask this:

Ted can you explain your tag line? "Who would Jesus behead?" I am not trying to be rude or anything I simply don't understand what that means.
