    Definitely. That XS 241 and my XS2511P are my favorite saws and the last to go. My two saw plan that covers all my needs.

    Rifle barrels are like women. No two are the same. But yeah that conversation has been going on for years and makes the oil wars look like a child’s tiff.

    That's almost as bad as calling a bar and chain, a blade. Lol

    Nothing wrong with proper terminology.

    I chuckle to myself when my brother in law calls the bar a blade and he's been cutting wood for 15 years heating their house plus as a teenager with his dad.

    Sure.
    "Shells" stuffed with cheese and covered in sauce then baked in the oven.
    Then while they cook read your "magazine"
    After you finish eating undo the "clip" that holds your pants closed and relax.:whistle:

    Here is one that bothers my OCD...

    People that pick up rifles from the safe or rack by using the barrel as the handle. Blued steel especially.
