Well, "bore axis" and "carry rotation" are already taken.

Lemme think...

How about drop safe? Really tired of that one this year.

If a gun that uses detachable magazines didn’t have a magazine well, there would be no place to put the magazine. It’s like saying, “I just bought a new truck, but I’m going to add a fuel tank so I can spend less time fueling.”



“ One may protest against evil; it can be exposed and, if need be, prevented by use of force. … Against stupidity we are defenseless. … [R]easons fall on deaf ears; facts that contradict one's prejudgment simply need not be believed … and when facts are irrefutable they are just pushed aside ….”

"Clip"

When a Garand is nowhere near being part of the conversation, or any other correct use of the word.

Standard Capacity Magazine

Talking to a friend yesterday, said he was going to gun show, I asked if he's getting something or just walking through to look? He answered he needed some high capacity magazines, they don't sell them in Maryland only standard capacity magazines.

Sadly living in MD has twisted and perverted his mind so much that he thinks that specially adapted magazines that are an alteration to the original design of the manufacturer is the "Standard Capacity" and the standard ones are "High Capacity".

In my mind whatever the manufacturers design is the standard capacity mag for that gun. Maybe if you add a +2 baseplate then you could call it a high capacity?
