Naming your guns?

[Fly Navy]

The only name I give my guns is a POS if they don't shoot good.

I get it…I told my story of my POS Gun

 

[Bushfire]

I'm the third owner of one of my guns, it has "bear rifle" engraved on the barrel which I assume was its name. To me its just my 54 flintlock if someone asks.

My friend did name my north west trade gun, which I refer to by the name to humour him when he's around. Otherwise it's called my smoothbore or trade gun.

I mix my kids names up enough without naming guns, cars, tools or what have you!

I have two Jeeps that have names. 61 and 77. Okay, those are numbers.....

What was that old TV series, where the Mountain Man named his mules by giving them numbers?

I remember for a few seasons he had “Ole Number 6”… then he had “Ole Number7”

I think that was the Grizzly Adam’s series with Dan Haggerty.

Haha cool!

True, but unfortunately my horses have gone years ago.
BTW. Really admire the man; Sir Winston Churchill that is.
A great speaker and a great man! Here is another quote from
Winston Churchill: "Look to Norway and their resistance!"

Hey, got to get to the range again yesterday and shoot my Early Virginia Flint-look "The Queen"
Starting to get good groups again..!

Named one of my flintlock rifles Ol’ Charlie after the friend I inherited her from. And the unmentionable smoothbore I carried while I was doing archeology on the North Slope is Old Pingaksuguruk, after the last inhabitant of village we were excavating. He’d been one of the folks living at Pingaksuguruk when the BIA dropped their school off in the wrong town. Rather than fix it, BIA said “all you Eskimoes got to move to Wainwright.” And he decided that he was 18, too old for school, and wasn’t leaving the place his family had lived for 1000 years. Lived another 60 years as a subsistence hunter and trapper.

OMG…I think you are right…

 

[jonathan hawkin]

All my guns have the same name so my wife only thinks I have one gun

Reminds me of a friend who always goes out with a broomstick in a gunslip, so it looks the same if he comes with a new one!

 

[oldracer]

Since I have only percussion rifles….we’ll also my late daughters Ruger (pink) 10/22 named JR since she was named after my wife (SR).
3 Hawken rifles made by the late Doug Knoell (Tiger, Walker, Scruffy), my last one I assembled named for my late wife Rosie. I won two gold medals with her 2 months ago at our monthly match, very rare feat!
Also have a 50 caliber chunk gun made by Web Terry (Mr Terry), Pedersoli Gibbs named Gibby, a bunch of others that I forget! Hey I’m 77 finally…at least I can remember where they are!

[Tannehill]

No flinders just Percussion, the 45 investarms is Miz Sims, the TC Hawken is Miz Brown, the 12 ga sxs is Big Bertha and my .50 Traditions Kentucky is Opra.

 

[Flintlock Whiskey]

I have three rifles (BP), and which ever I have at the moment is "Bessie". If I have two out at the range at the same time, the smaller caliber is "Bessie junior".

 

[hatman]

I named my flintlocks for convenience - "Hey what are you bringing to the range today? "I'm bringing ________."
Ron Luckenbill 50 cal - "The Revenant"
Mike Davis Woodbury 50 cal - "Hershel"
Louis Smith 45 cal - "Louie"
1803 Harpers Ferry 54 cal - "Louis and Clark"
Mike Davis 50 cal - "The Deadbeat". (long story lol)
Ron Luckenbill 50 cal John Noll copy - "Big John"

 

[ord sgt]

[Tn poor boy]

My tn gun im building is name after my farther that just passed Doc

 

[Fisherking]

I’ve never named a firearm before, but up until now, I’ve never owned a traditional black powder one.

I have a new-to-me custom .45 that I’d consider naming Rebecca for a beautiful crazy redhead and just-as-recent ex-girlfriend.

They are both all over the board and just as temperamental.

The gun is a blonde tho.
