    A little more obscure but I've seen em...Vetterli= Verletti, veterli, or god knows what else.Kropatschek= KropatchekMauser= MouserKrag= CraigLebel= LebalSchmidt-Rubin= Shmit RuebenAnd then there are those who just say "unknown piece, buyer pays shipping, see pics."

    If you think that's fun, try decyphering the ads in some of our local classified weeklies. The people taking the ads off their phone message machines know nothing about guns, usually. Want an Oozey?

    Yeah, but . . . another clue is when the item is priced substantially below market, and none of us mind that, now do we?

    Could it be a 12000 pound worm drive winch, having left off the one? I did some work for a company and required a "cash payment" which was agreed upon. Then after the work was done, they couldn't produce it (something about a 1099 form) so they asked me if I needed anything that the shop sold.Ended up with a 12000 lb Ramsey winch with Chrome finish. Traded that for 5 guns to a 4x4 nut, then traded it back for 2 of his guns just b/4 hunting season.Netted 3 really nice guns.

    In the sporting goods section of our local paper there was a "9mm Semi-auto revolver" for sale. I was real sorry I missed out on that one....
