Your gun, your name. Don't ask us. Not because we couldn't think of anything good, but because it's a personal decision. you wouldn't ask us what to name your kid, would you?

I've always migrated to female names, sometimes with a heritage the same as the gun. Russian gun, Russian name. But that doesn't always have to be so.

I name everything. I named my car Black Sunshine, so when I get a gun, I will name that as well, but probably not Olga.

As for the M1, my vote is Trevor the Tank Slayer.
But...It's in .30 carbine!
"Short Stuff".

My car is Watson. Go ahead, ask why. xd
Why?

(In direct competition to short stuff, how about pipsqueak?)
IT'S ELEMENTARY!

@Requiem: That would fit, if you had this thing:

You know what, I may just by that for the hell of it. I'd love to see the reaction of people when I show up to a firing range with a .22 rifle with a Barret style muzzle brake.

On a semi-related note, since California banned .50 BMG rifles, Barret stopped selling their rifles to California law enforcement agencies. Tough luck the next time they need to blow out a guy's engine block.

You heard about the .50DTC round, right? Ballistically identical to a .50BMG, but a half-millimeter shorter in the case, so it's not technically a .50BMG. That's what they get for banning the BMG by name. And the funny part is that nobody's bothered to see about getting it banned.

French bullet. Not interested.

The M99 .416 isn't banned, either, but I don't have 4k to shell out for a rifle like that.

That's what wives are for.

In order to break the tie, can I change my vote from Pipsqueak to Jacques?

Also, Jacques has a C in it.

Looks like Jacques is in the lead.

I'm checking when I wake up tomorrow, and whoever is top wins!

Why is "pipsqueak" an option on the poll?

I know the .30-30 isn't the most powerful cartridge, but that's more along the lines of a name for a .22 derringer rather than an M1 Carbine.
