Is rearsenaled a word

[aussiedave]

Since all Lee Enfields were built in factories ,rearsenaled sounds odd , no one says refactoried which is more correct . What is wrong with FTR or rebuilt, it's easier to say and spell.

IMOH, both are nonsense words.
The rifle was manufactured/produced/assembled/built/put together/... in a factory/arsenal/workshop/garage/garden shed...
It was never arsenaled or factoried in the first place, so it could never be re...

Agree completely with Patrick on this one. I have to admit I cringe every time I see it used, even a reference to "arsenal" when referring to a factory. As I understand, an arsenal is a large amount of weapons in one place.. wikipedia (hehehe... I only quote wiki when I agree with what it says...) has " 1) A collection of weapons and military equipment stored by a country, person, or group:.and 2) A place where weapons and military equipment are stored.... As far as the British and indeed the Commonwealth are concerned, it is a Football Club!

As with so many other terms which are not born of the same origins as the rifles we discuss, I personally think wrong terminology should be discouraged as it serves no purpose other than to confuse the issue.

Should one of that vintage have stainless steel accessories? Or has it been "rearsenalled?

Should one of that vintage have stainless steel accessories?

Obviously a parade model. It needs a white blanco-ed sling.

Hey Son, your food mixer boiught a wry smile to my face........ We had one very similar that had become clogged up with old bits of food and other stuff during its life, so I decided to clean it. I promptly stripped it down to a 'field stripped' sort of level and washed off the bits - until I got to the inner workings that I couldn't get to. So I did no more than get a dish of trichlorethylene and an old paintbrush and set about it. Well, as you can imagine.............. within about 5 minutes, all of the plastic parts had simply melted into a gooey mass. As had the plastic gears and......... well, everything except the chrome and alloy!

But she got a new one the following week!

Your mix-master looks like a modern repo. Looks good but not quite the same as my moms from the 60's.

Now with these non-words, if one needed to be rearsenaled.......would you seek out a proctologist????
