LOL, I thought about it once after watching a cowboy show, the bloke had named his... But I dare say it could fit right into the "Wanky" Realm in real life.

Well I've got an old double barreled S/S exposed hammer 12gge shotgun I've named 'Sebastian', that I've had for over 40 years.

I've no idea how it came about, especially since it's not even Italian.

I've never bothered to name any others, but it just seems to suit the old shotty.

My friends call my Savage 308 BAT/S 'Darth Vader', presumably because it's big and black and a little bit over the top. I call my 22 'useless piece of crap' which is starting to stick.

Yeah I don't know why but the 22 is so inaccurate even at 50 yards when we can put rounds through the same hole with the 308.

Our PTA arrived for the Nitro Express and it's almost finished, just awaiting the registration from the firearms registry so it can be stamped into the rifle and then blued/assembled! :D
