That's one of the Viking "super" weapons right?
Like Thors Hammer?

My Howa 223 Varmint is Frankie. Short for FrankenHOWA because it's been choped and changed and built out of different bits from different places. A real Frankenstein's gun.

I call my .223 - Tallulah and sometimes various other things when it annoys me.

The other 4 are referred to as calibres

Colt Python is "Snake" or "The Snake". Colt 1911 is "Old Ugly". No4MkI is "Smelly". Mini-14 is "Minnie". The M-48 Mauser is "Yugo".
I've been asked: "How many guns do you need to have?" My answer remains the same: "One more."

I've got a Smelly and an Annie.
There's also a Mosin, a Winchester, a Manlicher, a Martini and a few others in the safe.
God we're an unimaginative lot are'nt we? :oops:
Now I'm going to have to think up some cool names just for fun.
I think I'll call the safe LED ZEPPELIN ... cos it's full of heavy metal :roll: you saw that comming right?
There's always room for at least one more gun in my safe.
