My 20ga fowler is “Ol Doc” after the gentleman I got it from, and my .54 Mike Davis made rifle is “Josiah” after my 5th great grandfather.
same here, I’ve always thought that on the ridiculous side for adult men to do. But to each his own.No, I’ve never named any inanimate object, just too weird for me.

That’s awesome. I appreciate your sense of humor.Paging Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Mr Boone and Mr Crockett to the White Courtesy Phone, please.
Any of you guys name your flintlock like they did in the past ? If so what? If not why not?
In the middle of building my first and even using a kit it seems to be ", coming alive"

Sounds like that GDPOS had a bad spell or possibly was trolled. Some of the hunters in the old days over here in Norway, during the percussion and flintlock hunting days, was firmly of the belief that their long arms could have bad spells on them and not hit true or even God forbid misfire.I’ve named one gun in my life…named that gun “Gawd D#@@&% Piece of S#@%”.
The gun was a .54 calibre CVA Big Bore Mountain Rifle, that I had built from a kit…to hunt elk.
That fall, I had a bull elk at 15 yrds, full royals, 9 points on one side, 10 on the other, bulging like mad…gun miss fired on me twice. The elk would not let me call him back in for a 3rd chance. That gun cost me 3 huge elk that season. So yeah I named that gun.
After that season, I spent 6 months trying to figure out why the gun would shoot lights out from the bench, but if you took it for walk, at all, it misfired every fricken time. Was it possessed?
Only gun in my life that I sold without regrets….
Yeah it had issues…Sounds like that GDPOS had a bad spell or possibly was trolled.
