Parker Terms and Nomenclature
I'll unabashedly admit that I am reading Foster's "New England Grouse Shooting" yet again (I like to read people's names and names of places I'm familiar with around town here.) and in the second sentence of Chapter One, "The Little Gun" there is a term that I've read every time I read "The Little Gun" but never before realized I don't know what it means. It reads, "It was in the first vintage of relined sixteen gauge American breech-loaders..."
Does anyone know what the meaning of "relined" in this sentence or in the case of Parker sixteen gauge shotguns?
