In the extreme case, Beerhunter, people get nervous about entering into a discussion for fear of being made to look silly over often cyptic and complex jargon. We all knew which rifle he was referring to just as we all knew there would be a reaction to the terminology. So far the focus of discussion of Dwg's rather nice collection has been jargon.

Forgive me but I did not react to the OP's post. My post was in answer to someone claiming that using the correct terminology doesn't matter. I think that it does and so does the British Army, e.g. "Today we had naming of parts."

Makes life a little easier for all when the correct term is used. I am looking for a rifle from a group of 4 variations where less than 200 were built in total and 50% of one group may have destroyed or modified for another reason. The wrong discription would have me doing an 8,000km trip for nothing. I have bought some books and still rereading them. The correct term for the P14 Mks 1 &1*was changed to No3 Mks 1 & 1* still commonly called P14. The Model 1917 has always been that. The Brits went to quite a bit of trouble to make sure they were identified correctly when they were in service together no good sending the wrong ammo. Poor terminology in supply would have been fatal.
