Soooo............... "struck" has nothing to do with "striking" as with hammers Rather, it is "filing". Do I have that right?? "unfiled" barrel weight doesn't flow off the tongue quite so easily.
Obviously, I am at loose ends today, as roosters open tomorrow. So Dean got me wondering why the word struck is used when it is a filing process. Had a look at synonyms.com and in the 11th sense of the word struck I found the answer.
Struck: Sense 11: shape, form
It all makes sense now. Thanks.
