Since you’re apparently a bit thick in addition to just being generally argumentative because of some perceived inferiority to the rest of the world, your statement very specifically and unequivocally was that everybody knows what Stutzen means. This was your intro here to show how much more you know than the rest of us poorly informed idiots.
To say that you are being pedantic is actually an understatement. Perhaps I need to explain the meaning of pedantic for you also, since you lack basic comprehension. I pointed out that the ‘average person’ (your words) does not know what you believe and still hold that to be a true statement.
Now, had you said ‘the average vintage gun aficionado’ to make your point, you wouldn’t be here arguing pointlessly to try and hold an untenable position.
But do carry on. I love seeing someone dig a hole deeper and deeper.
Who is being "thick"?
Show me where I supposedly posted anything that
very specifically and unequivocally was that everybody knows what Stutzen means.
You are commenting on your own assumptions and seem to have a rather thin skin. If someone sharing information bothers you so, perhaps you shouldn't read such things.
Here is an excerpt from a post on another thread from member 'Sandwarrior'. Does he offend you, as well?
...One thing that drives me nuts though, (hate to be a negative Nelly) is when people call a full stocked rifle a Mannlicher or Mannlicher Schoenauer. Mannlicher is the action, Schoenauer is the magazine (rotary like a Savage 99). The stock is just a full stock that some models of military rifles had. SMLE's had full stocks.FCOL.
Get over yourself, don't be such a child.
