Well, how about having that one come out when hunting season is over. I'm going to have to block off more than a little reading time.  Think you could say a little something on the evolution of the hunting Cocker and its original intermingling with the Springer Spaniel? Best get to work, I'm not getting any younger.

I love old mechanical devices and one of the reasons I like repeating shotguns as they just represent Yankee ingenuity. Having said that one of my favorite gizmos is my grandfathers old hand crank corn sheller . Drop a cob in the top turn the crank and its spins around while all the kernels are removed and then the spent cob is ejected out the front takes maybe 15-20 seconds.

It means you have come late to the dance and all the good looking girls have been taken and you get the zitty, buck toothed skank and didn't realize the 222 Remington magnum was already on the dance floor...

I think that Kentucky jelly is better for some stuff....  Rumor has it lard was the preferred choice in certain locals way back when. Locals or locales? Or both?

Locales was what I meant-it just didn't look right-but you are right I'm close, and I would bet it is more than rumor.
Addition: to stay a little on track, a slimmed down and balanced 98 would be a nice choice. Started out with a 98 in 8mm and had a re barreled 09 Argentine with a Brown pounder that in hindsight I should have kept.

But the "zitty,bucktoothed skank" probably has a nice personality.

At least she's a real broad. If she was named 222RM she'd be sporting a 7" 'clit'

Battue,
The article was about ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE, specifically the 98 Mauser, not an essay about the history of human technology in general.
I always love the posts generated when somebody quotes a couple sentences from an entire article, and then a bunch of Campfire guys who've never read the article make irrelevant comments.
So, basically the same thing that happens on almost every thread here, every day?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Yep!
As a matter of fact that's how I started posting on the Campfire, years ago. I'd been lurking for six months or so, then somebody mentioned an article of mine that had just appeared, quoting maybe three sentences. Whereupon several guys posted that I was FOS, so I posted, explaining the context, and exactly why they were FOS. And another Campfire tradition began....

I find that generally being FOS suits me well and I cannot recommend it too highly, or too often. Darn near 'bout time for a GFY or two by now, ain't it?
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
