I disagree a bit, although we all mostly understand the phrases used in the past, many times they are just wrong. Such as 1903 French and many others. The early phraseology was many times wrong by the early book writers as they didn't know.
I like to say 1902 carbine or fat barrel - Dwight likes things in certain boxes (although he is far better at words than me).

I am reading some older articles a friend sent me, early stuff by Kenyon and some others and to todays ears and writing, it sounds weird (commercial Simson, etal)
