WRA and RA are easier to type.
In spite of that Winny and Remmy are in vogue with the gay crowd.

Rough, tough, enough and dough.

One Sunday morning, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, we were sitting down to breakfast. Upon seeing the box on the countertop, I loudly asked "could I have a chocolate covered "duffnut"

Had to mop up a lot of coffee that morning and we still tell the story when we have "duffnuts" for breakfast.

Don't know why, but I feel like I have something crawling up the back of my neck when I read or hear some refer to a Winchester as a Whinny and a Remington as a Remmy. It never seems to bother me when a Chevrolet is referred to as a Chevy.

Me too Richard. It just sounds like something a cutesy talking effeminate man would say. How about those Springy's and Rocky's and Smithy's and Danny's or Wessy's? Like wearing Pink underwear with lace or something.

I'm bad about your and you're. I'm really not sure I get it. When I see a post that starts with My Winnie arrived today, I don't even open it.

I understand that proper nomenclature is important. That being said, I learned a great deal about firearm and knowledge in general from WW II Vets. I am sure that if I would have been critical of their use of language, they would not have shared much of anything with me. That would had been my loss.

It's all true and will never change. Nice try, though.

Then some need to be upset about Cartouche for a Commanders stamp or Gas Trap when in fact it is a Model 1936. Don't get me started on Tankers. Actually none of it bothers me and I can sleep at night thank God for not worrying about how people spell when I know what they mean. It must be a horrible life for some Rick B

Don't forget the typewriter rifles (Underwood and Corona) and the jukebox rifles (Rockola).

Actually, the factory that made the so-called "tractor" rifles actually made the Kelvinator refrigerators!!

Only a very small corner of the huge factory was delegated to the making of the M1 rifle. --Jim
