I've e-mailed Jcordell over at imfdb. He seems like a nice guy.He responded that on reflection he relaized that nobody was laughing at him, but that was his initial reaction. Actually he's a firearms enthusiast and a history buff. Admittedly his knowledge of the dangerous game rifles as well as all the older English shotguns and rifles is limited. He's an American and has a modest income (like me)and the great old doubles ,not to mention hunting in Africa or Australia, are out of his reach. But he's always willing to learn and welcomes any productive input.Anyway just thought I would contribute to this discussion since I happen to visit both imfdb and nitroexpress on a frequent basis.
