Name of Your Gun

I've really put my poor ol' Jaeger through heck and back and that was just during her construction so I figure I owed her a name. I think I'll call her Old Thunder. The name fits. Let's hear some of the crazy names you folks have bestowed upon your smokepoles.

I don't think I'll name my CVA Bobcat, but my buggy rifle's called "Li'l Bit". After my first granddaughter. ::

I guess names like Thunder, Lightning, etc, get used a lot...I thought of naming my first .45cal flintlock "Lightning" as it seemed so fast...and was so impressed with the power of a .58cal that I got a year ago that I named it "Thunder".

One guy who posts around names his different names from the Bible.

I call my flint longrifle 'Pedersoli'. ::

Have you seen Teleoceras's website? The names of his gonnes reads like a list of dinner guests. :haha:

Being a fan of country music, especially since I can't tolerate the manure the kids like, I took the names from country songs.


My Renegade is Miss Nancy Ann from the Hoyt Axton song and the Plains Pistol was Sally Sue from a Charlie Daniels song. Haven't gotten around to a name for the Santa Fe Hawken yet.

My 12 Ga. New Englander smoothie is "Blunderpotz". The .50 barrel on her is the same name by default.

My .54 Renegade is "Rene

I can't do it that way...mine are all TC Hawkens...thought about naming them after the bucks I take with them but then they'd all be called 8-Pointer...same problem

The only gun I have a name for is my 12 ga sxs. Call her Ol' Stinky. ::

I named my .54 longrifle Huff N Puff . My .62 Jaeger got it's name on a survival trekk many years ago. I shot a porcupine out of a tree for camp meat. I shot for the head to save meat, the big round ball disintegrated the critters head. When I discribed it back at camp I said his head blew up like a ripe watermelon. Someone started calling my gun Melon Buster, and the name stuck.

 

I ain't come up with very many names yet... But I have come up with many when they missfire...@#$%& &%$#@ $%@#&$$ gun.
And NO I'm not gonna name it Miss Fire :crackup:

Since I'm having a southern Mountain rifle built, thought I might name her "Charlene" after Charlene Darling, the mountain girl from the "Andy Griffith" show. My wife rolled her eyes, shook her head, and muttered something about me being sick :haha:
