what's your gun's name?

[Pete Gaimari]

I call mine Fred.


I kneel down, take careful aim, and say softly as I squeeze the trigger..."we can do it Fred."

 

[Sully]

I have a .54 cal Hawken rifle that is named THOR and the ball is his hammer

Back in the Mid 70's my dad started his own little Muzzleloading Buisness called "Patch Box Arms". He assembled all parts needed to build a Hawkins rifle in to a kit to be sold. He made a Prototype the He named "Brutis Smoke Pole". I now have this Gun and still call it the same.
Recently I found enough parts around his house that I was able to Build one for my Oldest son for this past Christmas. My son stands about 6ft 1in and is a big strong boy for which this 54 cal Hawkins was suited for. It Is a BIG GUN!
My wife named it for him "Big Damn Gun".
He loves it and it shoots like a dream. Hopefully this weekend he will take a Deer with it. Just think, that gun has been waiting around for 35 years to come to life and do what it was meant to do.. Oh "Brutis Smokepole" will be out there also..

Me and Fred have a lot of venison in our future.

Fred doesn't like eating venison much. He enjoys Ballistol too much.

Good Luck!!

capper,

have you ever taken any elk with "Fred" ?

i was watching the 'versus' channel and it seems like going after one of those bad boys would be a lot more challenging.. would it even be possible with bp ?

Oh yeah. It's more than possible. No long shots like the CF boys, or the inline boys, but a good old ML with a PRB can take elk. I did go to a .54 for some more hitting power.
You have to be more of a hunter and get closer, but that's a good thing. :grin:

Me and Fred are new friends, but we'll get an elk someday.

I got Wormy (cause of the wormy maple) & Axle cause of the spline on the end of the barrel.

Interesting one was Rotten Ralph Jones gun he called Ol Lightning (cause it never struck the same place twice)

Finished my Issac Hains back in October and called it Ottis after Ottis Cambell on the Andy Griffit show cause my gun looked like a drunk had been working on it :rotf: Since buck and muzzleloader seasons I have been thinking about a new name, Homelite. All I have to show for the seasons are a dogwood and a maple tree. :grin: They jumped in the way of the ball and wouldn't let me hit the deer I was aiming at. :idunno:
