This is a collection of translation terms collected from the American Longrifles List www.americanlongrifles.com an excellent resource that I most highly recommend you explore. The list developed this list of terms as a result of Jim & Barbie Chambers (www.flintlocks.com) efforts in importing a fine book on Jaeger Rifles from Germany. This resource was developed for folks not conversant with the German Language
