Proper jargon - is a model 14 a K38?

[Jim Watson]

I chastise myself when I refer to my .22 Combat Masterpiece as a K22.

Words?

Just words by you?

No, whip yourself until you are a bloody pulp.

It's Lent. Whip yourself until you are two
bloody pulps.

Don't get me wrong. I love the names. Some of them are.great. Ralph's Combat Magnum, The New Century.etc. I am just not hard and fast about it. If I was talking to a hardcore S&W guy ai would try to be far more precise than with the vast majority of people. Like this. I know 45 long colt is incorrect. But the vast majority of the.population needs more discriptive wording as many invision the 45 acp. Some I try to educate some i just let go all their merry way. 99.9% of the world don't know that S&W did or didn't have names model numbers etc. Why make it an issue

When it comes to technobabble, I personally like Marvin's "Illudiam Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator." Now that's a proper technobabble name!

The previous model was the "Uranium Pu-36 Explosive Space Modulator" usually referred to by earthlings as the "Pre-Illudiam."

I'm now returning to my bunker.

. . . The scarce M14 4" barreled had a Patridge foresight.....

The factory-produced, special order 4" Model 14s that I've seen have the Baughman ramp front sight . . . see example below.
