What in the heck are you talking about? A propos? Do you mean apropos? The man asked a question for three specific needs that he specifically qualified....

1. I am talking about guns. 2. Please don't lecture me on the subject of French. It's silly on FR and I am fluent. Not "fluent" as in "I am applying to VA Tech and can talk to our maid"

3. Congratulations on having purchased a number of firearms for less than the price of a Wal-Mart TV. I doubt you are fluent, or even proficient, in their use. Yep the word fluent is a propos.

4. Used guns, as you might have inferred, can be dangerous, damaged, have risky serial numbers, be pitted, be warped, or have all sorts of other problems. As do yours, I'd imagine, unless you engaged a qualified and trusty expert to look them over, etc. which was the essence of my "advice."

Now that you've done checking inferred vs implied please note that when you need (when one needs) a firearm, you need it to function properly, and you need to really know it. Yes that was a preposition.

Even someone one who insists on splitting a menial firearms investment on some shoddy grab-bag or explosive crap, if they are a member of this forum, is worthy of good advice. My advice is: spend the grand on ONE weapon and know it well, little Gaffer, unless you're getting the family price. And I sure hope you got it on that Marlin 60 "$160 with Scope!"

Talk about "cryptic!" Good word though. Very cryptic.

Oh, aren’t we a piece of smug Frenchy work. If you bothered to look in the dictionary, the accepted usage of the word is largely with no space, go look it up.

It is true, however, in your Frenchy-fluent dialect that the word’s origins come from the Frenchy A propos.....big frigging deal - I guess you think we all speak proper Frenchy here, huh?

I guess everyone like you who is applying to VA Tech (some of us here, graduated from more prestigious schools - get back to me when you’ve graduated - if you can) and speaks fluent Frenchy has a leg up on guns and gun knowledge because of the valiant Frenchy battle records?

You have no idea about what anyone here knows about guns and how long they’ve been using them. I’m not ‘little’ and I’m not as young as you apparently have proved you are.

The rest of your comments are worthless to respond to because you are just basically a mean person who doesn’t like to be contradicted. I gave you valid reasons why I responded to the questions asked and their conditions. You chose to go pre-college know-it-all on me because I reminded you of that and called some of your comments about gunsmiths, etc. cryptic.....just a nasty person.
