We Like Paraprosdokians:
 
Paraprosdokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected & is frequently humorous.  (Winston Churchill loved them).
  • Where there's a will, I want to be in it.
  • The last thing I want to do is hurt you ...but it's still on my list.
  • Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
  • If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
  • We never really grow up -- we only learn how to act in public.
  • War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
  • Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
  • To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research
  • I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
  • In filling out an application, where it says, "In case of emergency, notify.." I answered "a doctor."
  • Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.
  • You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.
  • I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
  • To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.
  • Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.
  • You're never too old to learn something stupid.
  • I'm supposed to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find one now.

Kodachrome Images from WWII
 
Kodachrome, the first color film, invented around 1935, does not fade with time, unlike the more common Ektachrome film that came later. 4x5 cameras used film 4"x5" in size, rather than the small 35mm size we are so used to, so the details were crystal sharp. These photos are from the WWII era and give you a lump in your throat as you see a different time in the world so sharply portrayed.

Ideas for Bored People out there:
  • Got Ants (the crawling kind not the ones that stay for two weeks and carry a suitcase)? No need to add more chemicals to your home, just mix a healthy dose of table salt with water and spray the little beggars.
  • 9 foods to help an upset stomach without more meds: Bananas, Ginger, Plain Yogurt, Papaya, Apple Sauce, Oatmeal, White rice, Chamomile Tea, Chicken Broth
  • Running your Bacon under cold water before cooking reduces shrinking, a lot.
  • At Shell gas stations, press the button on the side of the air pump three times to start the pump without inserting coins.
  • A little 7up in a vase helps preserve flowers.
  • Sick of paying for Microsoft Office? Get “Open Office”, it’s the same thing form free with more features!
  • Next time your “significant other” socks you in the breadbasket, hold a banana peel over the bruise for 10-30 minutes to remove the color.
  • If you can’t get cell service, put the phone in airplane mode and take it out. This causes it to re-seek cell service towers.
  • If you peel that banana from the bottom you’ll get fewer stringy things to remove.
  • If you see hinges on the outside of a door, pull, don’t push.

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK
 
I've complained in the past about over-militarizing police forces. While I grant that police must and should have weapons suitable to take on a well-armed "perp", public displays of heavily armed cops, I believe, are counterproductive and provocative. Some time ago I wrote that our local police force was complaining because it was being asked to return a tracked armored car/tank it had been given by the "gumment". It had been fitted with rubber treads and the department was looking forward to driving it down Main Street during carnivals and street fairs. I objected to both the vehicle and the public display of military might.
 
I feel that in small town America we want to have policemen and women who are approachable by the public. Cops have a very hard job and, as you may have noticed, they tend to pull back and look at you skeptically when approached. I understand their reticence but I think today we have to do everything we can to bring the public closer to their defenders by dropping barriers, not building them. Tanks, riot gear, black commando-style clothing and big guns build barriers not lower them. Sure, police can have that gear just don’t flaunt it.
 
I recently read that the EPA, of all agencies, has spent a significant amount of money arming against naughty polluters. So, apparently have other government departments. I think we should look carefully at this proliferation of military weapons and question the wisdom of spending tax dollars to so arm those departments.
 
 
The Environmental Protection Agency has spent millions of dollars over the last decade on military-style weapons to arm its 200 “special agents” to fight environmental crime.
Among the weapons purchased are guns, body armor, camouflage equipment, unmanned aircraft, amphibious assault ships, radar and night-vision gear and other military-style weaponry and surveillance activities, according to a new report by the watchdog group Open the Books.
 
 
Non-military federal agencies are spending billions on guns, ammo and military gear, report finds.  Federal agencies other than the Department of Defense spent nearly $1.5 billion on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment over the past nine years, a new report found.
 
Researchers from OpenTheBooks.com tracked spending between fiscal years 2006 and 2014 at 67 different agencies in 15 departments outside the Pentagon in a report entitled “The Militarization of America.” The organization, which refers to itself as a nonpartisan watchdog organization, unveiled the 55-page report earlier this month (2016).

Received the "instruction manual for Yugo M48".  Extremely poor quality. Larry C. Burfield
 
Dear Mr. Burfield, Quality is only as good as the original with as much help as we can give it, then again it cost less than a cup of coffee so not too bad a deal all things considered, right? Cheers, Abby
 
Hi Abby, I can go along with your statement that quality is only as good as the original……….but after having said that……..if you're paying $7.50 for a cup of coffee, I can give you several hints where you can do a lot better.  No, not a good deal…..and I'll be wiser in the future.  Take care and have a good day. Larry
 
Dear Mr. Burfield, I do wish the time it takes to locate, print, identify, collate, sleeve, pack and drive the piece to the PO where they charge for delivery were less than for a much more expensive piece. Sadly it isn't and, in truth I bet thee is little profit in offering the Yugo manual.
 
Oh, and, of course the ad copy does say this: "4 pages, about 11"...lly Illustrated. Original copy was a bit smudged so this copy isn't perfect. And I did put a clear picture of the damage in the advert." I am sorry we were unable to live up to your discriminating requirements. Cheers, Abby

Letters From Readers
The Internet Browsers we all use to look at emails – Firefox, Edge, Opera etc – have all decided to truncate or cut off the bottoms of long emails. While there is a tiny note at the bottom allowing you to retrieve the rest of the email we decided to reduce the number of Letters from Readers to shorten this newsletter. Rob and Abby
 
************************************************  
Hi Abby, Could you thank those that responded to the Maynard question in your next newsletter? I never thought of your newsletter as resource forum, but I will in the future to seek information, as well as being able to provide information. Thank you. Paul  Barnard
 
Note: Several readers sent emails that I forwarded with links to information about the Maynard (Rob)
 
 ************************************************ 
 
Hi Rob and Abby, I was reading your newsletter, always fun, and I noticed you had folks calling at all hours of the night.  We all have this problem, I tell folks the shipping is free if you call between 6AM and 9PM eastern time, from 9 to midnight it is $75 and from midnight to 6am $750.  Of course I'm just joking, but one of my friends who has an online gun store got three calls after 11:30PM on Christmas eve this year, he was not very happy with that.  Keep up the good work,  Pete Shirley
 
Hi Pete, Hmmm, Christmas Eve, fight with "partner" who or whatever that might be and they need a gun right away from an online store... probably figure it will be delivered by drone in minutes so the fight can go on. Maybe we never knew about them but there seem to be a lot more odd people out there today! Rob
 
 ************************************************ 
 
Rob,  The lower half of the newsletter didn't come through. Dick
 
Hi Dick, That is a problem I have trouble explaining. I put the paragraph below near the top of the newsletter but people seem to gloss over it, If I put it much lower it is apt to be cut off by the various Nanny Browsers. This is new, Do you have any suggestions other than shortening the newsletter?
 
“Some Nanny Browsers have like Firefox, Edge and Opera have done a couple of things to "help" you. They sometimes block images, but don't worry you can click the buttons below to show pictures with no fear. They are also likely to cut off the bottoms of longish emails... to fix that, scroll down and click the link at the bottom  to show the whole thing.”
 
It never stops does it? Rob

Montgomery Ward 1929-30 Guns Catalog:
Hi, I am curious about the items featured in the catalog. You list that the western field repeater is featured in the catalog. On the page displayed it appears that the western field deluxe shotgun is featured (which is the gun I own). Is that shotgun actually featured in the catalog I'd buy?? Thanks, Nick (Ebay)
 
Dear Nick, The pages we display in the advertisements for the over 4000 sporting catalogs and manuals we sell on Ebay are from the publications advertised. So, if you see the Browning shotgun advertised by MW in the 1929-30 catalog, then yes that is the gun they sold then and the page is in the piece we sell for under six bucks! Cheers, Rob
 
(Rob) If I message you some pictures of the gun can you confirm for me? The resolution of the picture you display isnt the best and I just want to make sure. I will definitely be buying your product, just want to purchase the correct one. Nick
 
Dear Nick, Ebay rules won't allow messaging outside ebay and ours is a landline anyway. You can try to send them through ebay but this is an awful lot of work for you for a six dollar piece isn't it? Rob

Iver Johnson c1904 Firearms Catalog:
Hi I have a Iver Johnson small frame top break 32 S&W that i need to finds a assembly manual. Would this manual cover that? Thanks oldblue383 (Ebay)
 
Dear oldblue383, Not really, that is a sales catalog. The Iver Johnson c1897 Gun Catalog would be better. Problem is though, that in those days they used a flat plan view and assumed you know how to put it together. I do have a modern exploded parts view of an IJ top break revolver (they were all pretty much the same) but I can't sell or give it over ebay (their rules you know!) Cheers, Rob at "cornellpubs"
 
Hi Rob. I don't want you to go against Ebay but, would there be another way, I'm really hurting to get a view? I have tried all over to get one but no luck. If i remember right i got a copy of a view on a Hopkins & Allen from you some time back. The last time i talked to you was by phone, could i call again? Thanks Roy
 
Roy, We are always pleased to talk with customers. Rob
 
 ************************************************
 
Hi Abby, I received the Charles Greenblatt catalog yesterday but was disappointed to see that the cover was not on the catalog, as shown in the auction. Mine appears to have two back covers (see the photos, these are the front and back). Regards, Gary
 
Dear Mr. Farmer, I'm so sorry! I can't think what happened but I'll fix it immediately and ship you another today. Ever since the article in the American Rifleman mentioning us we have been overwhelmed with questions and calls because our phone number and not our website was in the magazine. I know that isn't much of an excuse but we have been just frantic and I'm afraid we just missed the two covers. Sorry again to disappoint you. Cheers, Rob
 
Rob, The replacement arrived-everything is great and I thank you for standing behind your product and making it right so quickly. Regards, Gary
 
************************************************
 
(Dear Abby) I'm trying to find some information on a shotgun I own but am unsure of whether or not it would even be in the printings you are offering. I would like to get them to use for research and I'm hoping you can offer me a discounted price on all three of these listings, eBay item numbers 291034038577, 370791493462 & 291098763419 (these are all Simson Catalogs- ). Thank you. tumbleweed87 (Ebay)
 
Dear tumbleweed87, We reprint dozens of catalogs featuring Simson from 1924 through the 60s. Before you start fishing, do you know when your gun was made? Have you tried to find serial number information online- Google Simson serial number? Have you asked Simson themselves? It doesn't make sense to buy the Simson catalogs we reprint if you don't know because they span just a few years and the Greg Foster's history is really quite short and doesn't identify many models outside some in the 20s. As far as discounting, we really can't because we print to order and try to keep our prices as low as possible as more of a service then a business during our retirement. Abby will, however, combine shipping. Cheers, Rob Mouat

Hi, Could you tell me if this catalog lists the Python in stainless steel? I understand they came out in stainless steel in 1981, 1982 or 1983. Thank you. Mark – melodians (Ebay)
 
Dear Mark, I researched all the Colt catalogs from 1979 to 1985 I saw the first mention of stainless steel Pythons was in 1985, none before. We reprint all of them. Cheers, Abby
 
(Dear Abby) Thank You. melodians (Ebay)
 
Dear Mark, You are welcome. Do you want to buy a copy of the 85 or were you just looking for the information? Abby
 
(Dear Abby) I am looking for an original.
 
Oh, well it was fun to help you decide which original to buy! Abby

NAVY ARMS - ALL CATALOGS AND MANUALS
Dear Abby, Do you have the navy arms 1971 catalog ? dallarinke0 (Ebay)
 
Dear dallarinke0, Honest answer is I don't know. I have one that is c1970 but could be a '71, it is undated. I'll attach a cover image and let you decide. Cheers, Abby

Lee Enfield Rifle, Instructions for Armourer's 1931 by The War Office, Part II, Small Arms, Rifles:
(Dear Abby) I thought I had ordered the guide for the no4 rifle......I did not get this hriharl (Ebay)
 
Dear hriharl, Thank you for your note. I am not certain I understand your concern. Are you saying I mistakenly sent you a different publication than the one you ordered, the "Lee Enfield Rifle, Instructions for Armourers 1931 by The War Office, Part II"? Or are you having trouble finding specific information about the MK IV found in the Lee Enfield Rifle, Instructions for Armourers 1931 by The War Office, Part II? I'll be happy to fix the problem once I fully understand. Please let me know. Cheers, Abby
 
(Dear Abby) I wanted the volume that covered the No 4 Mark 1. The volume I have does not cover that gun. Harley Richards hriharl (ebay)
 
Dear Harley, You are right it covers only the No.2 Mk IV. as stated in the contents with the advert. Do you want a refund? You can keep or throw away the copy you have because we print to order and have no inventory, that way I can offer over 6500 different publications. Cheers, Abby
 
(Dear Abby) If you could send the volume I need that would be satisfactory
 
Dear Harley, Ah here it is. Will this work? Lee Enfield No. 4 All Marks w/ Equip- First Line Maint.- Canadian Natl. Defense   Abby
 
(Dear Abby), Yes
 
Dear Harley, I'll send you a copy at no charge. Abby
 
(Dear Abby), OK
 
We are always thrilled to be of service even if you make a mistake! A

(Dear Abby) Does this Pedersen c1930 Self-Loading Rifle M-P.A. Handbook- Vickers (UK) have the gun measurements? whi-f6ma9: (Ebay)
 
Dear whi-f... Yes it has measurements in English and Metric but, of course, not engineering drawings as it is a manual not a technical piece. Cheers, Abby
 
(Dear Abby), Oh darn it.

Bren 1942 .303 Light Machine Gun- Small Arms Training (UK) -Manual
Hello, I'like to know if this is a british or autralian manual. For reenactment purpose, I'm looking for a manual that could have been issued to a canadian soldier intraining in the UK during WW2. Many thanks, George
 
Hi George, Well now, looking at the Bren Guns these are the only two Canadian ones we have for that gun. The 48 is probably the same as the earlier ones they used:
Bren 1948 Light Machine Gun Training Manual (Canadian)
 
We do scores of BRITISH SERVICE MANUALS (Army, Navy, Air Force) and the one you were looking at was British. On the other hand a Canadian soldier could well have got hold of one of those while in UK. I don't seem to have one that was printed specifically for Canadian soldiers serving in UK though. Cheers, Rob
 
Hi (Rob), many thanks for the fast reply. I'll probably go with that one, as you say canadian trooper would probably got one of the british issue. Thanks again, George

Estimado Francisco: El paquete está en camino hacia usted, sin embargo, hemos aprendido que las aduanas mexicanas pueden retrasar el envío a través del borde del material relacionado con armas de fuego por hasta ocho semanas. Lamento el retraso, pero no hay nada que pueda hacer para acelerarlo. Mis mejores deseos, Abby
 
Dear Francisco, The package is on its way to you, however we have learned that Mexican customs may delay shipment across the border of firearms related material for up to eight weeks. I am sorry for the delay but there is nothing I can do to speed it up. Best wishes, Abby

Abby , I am looking for a chart that lists the sight mount bases for the various models of firearms that use Redfield front and rear target sights. Would you have such a chart, or would it be in one of your catalog reprints? Thank you, James G. Mothes.
 
Dear James, You don't mention what era or rifle you are concerned with but I can tell you the 1937 catalogs have a sight chart listing different rifles but I suspect you mean the later catalogs such as the 1979 which has a page that specifically list attaching block and front sight base selections. So, old or new or are you asking about scopes? Cheers, Abby

Hi Abby, Thanks very much for continuing to send me your newsletter.  Some years ago I ordered one of your reproduction booklets having information on my Savage Model 29 rifle, and the book was perfect.  I always note when I read your newsletter that you’re still getting a lot of well-deserved raves, and of course a few moronic rants.  “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.” I’ve been trying to research my Winchester Model 67A single-shot rim fire rifle, but it’s been a bear.  None of these rifles (the 67 and 67A, produced between 1934 and 1963) were serialized for sale in the U.S. market, and over 383 thousand of the things were produced. Production stopped before the ’68 Gun Control Act went into effect, which as you probably know requires serial numbers on all guns produced in the U.S.  I went so far as to call and speak with Winchester, and later called and spoke with the curator of the Cody Firearms Museum.  Neither had a record of when the Model 67A was produced.
I ordered 4 Winchester catalogs from you today in the hope they might tell me something, such as if the 67A wasn’t in a particular year’s catalog then perhaps it would appear in a subsequent catalog.  That would perhaps give me information on when the A model was first marketed.
 
I’m telling you all this to let you know how important your work might be to collectors, shooters and others interested in firearms. Sincerely yours, and all the very best, Bill Hoeller
 
Hi Bill, Thank you for your note. It is gratifying to hear supportive comments from folks who really understand what and why we have gone to such an effort to preserve old catalogs, books and manuals. Not everyone is as perceptive. I do hope you find information that will help you with your Winchester. Best wishes, Abby

U.S. Magazine Rifle & Carbine Model 1898 & 1899 Krag Manual (1917 edition)
(Dear Abby) Can you provide any insight as to the difference between the 1901 and the 1917 versions? scottb779 (ebay)
 
Dear scottb7… Honestly, I don't have time right now to compare versions of manuals for you. We were mentioned in The American Rifleman (NRA) and are just plain swamped with questions, letters and phone calls. I do apologize. Abby
 
 *********************************************** 
 
Abby, Maybe this additional information can of  help in locating any information you may have. Thomas Wilde, of Birmingham, England  was a small British manufacturer of high grade black powder shotguns and rifles in the mid to late 1800s.  The company's main source of revenue where his side-by-side, light weight, side hammer, Damascus barreled, upland game, shotguns. Regarding the three barrel shotgun, the time this shotgun was made, L.C. Smith was practically a one man show with many brilliant mechanism designs that he patented with zeal.  He sold the patent for the three barreled shotgun to W.H. Baker and Company with the Baker's stipulation that he continued to make the guns for Baker while teaching the Baker staff. Most of his 3-barrel guns were made and marked "L.C. Smith maker of Baker Gun Syracuse N.Y. Stub Twist." After the contracted time ended, L.C. Smith & Mr. Corona teamed up to build a typewriter of his design because he could make more money building typewriters than guns and the story of the Smith Corona typewriters started in 1900. Regarding the M-41 Johnson, in the 1948 catalog you sent, the picture below the catalog cover has two rows of rifles available.  In the second row, 4th rifle down (the one having a bayonet is the M-41 Johnson, semi-automatic, air cooled, with a non-detachable en-block 10 round rotary magizine.  The ammunition was the Caliber .30, Ball Munition, Model of 1906 (30-06) and all of its variances. All of the other examples are the light  machine guns, with their detachable 20 round box magizines. Sorry for the long response, it was just a data dump hoping to help in finding any publications you may have. Anything you can do is greatly appreciated. With High Regards, Roger Johnson
 
Hi Roger, Abby asked me to weigh in on this problem. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be much use. I would think the older items are mentioned somewhere in our reprinted books of the contemporary period but I wouldn't know without spending a bunch of time looking through them, something we just can't do. If, on the other hand you come across a publication you think is a likely source in our database, I can take a quick look for you; I just can't justify real research. Hope you understand. Cheers, Rob
