What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.

have them engrave something really profound, like...
"Close Cover Before Striking"
or if it was a houndstooth I'd have to have it engraved with
"Zoultan" since everyone knows that Zoultan is the hound of Dracula.

My plans next year are to complete a degree in Public Administration from UIU. so when thats done and I get my last tuition reimbursment check that I don't have to roll over to pay for another class, I'll be rolling it over into something custom from PPS, and I will probably have them engrave the "UIU" lettering on it.

Anyway, just have fun.

Okay, I have it narrowed to 5 options,
1-Juggernaut
2-Colossos
3-Outcast
4-Black Widow (this is my team name, but I don't know about it because the gun will not be black)
5- Eat My Balls

My wife thinks that #5 is the funniest but that "some" people would find it inappropriate. I am kinda leaning towards #1 or #5.

What do you think?

Also, thanks for the info on the sight rail, I hadn't thought of that, and it is only $20 more for a straight cut with nickel plate. I think that will be the way I go if, if I can decide on a name.

"The Palminator"
or
"Carple Tunnel"
or #5

=P

I asked my close friends, I had one vote for Eat My Balls, one for Colossus, and two for Juggernaut. I wish I could decide....

You should set up a poll here on MCB. Let MCB decide the houndstooth's fate...

I'd go with Eat my balls

I think this is the way to go. plust the $60 for an engraved sight hood would be better spent on a tent so I have some place to sleep in upcoming scenerio's.

Thanks everyone for the input, it helped a bunch!

call PPS and ask about engraving a sight hood... you do not want to engrave the marker itself...

have you ever seen the "loverboy" blazer?

Requesting additional information on the "loverboy" blazer.

I don't know about eat my balls, I would say it definitely would kill the intimidation factor. Yeaa, I know, it's just a name, but if you look at your other names, you unconciously want something that will get the "omg don't rape me plz" out of them. So I say go for something with a little more "scare factor" into it.

If you are gonna get it engraved, think of a good name that matches the gun. And I also recommend doing the engraving on an accessory/aftermarket part or something that can be removed.

For example, I just bought a nasty Hurricane. I want to personalized the gun but I dont wanna do anything perment because I have a feeling I will sell it in the future. The serial Number of gun is PD46. So I am gonna name the gun Palladium. Palladium is the 46th element so its atomic number is 46. Also its atomic symbol is Pd. So..... PD46(the gun) is going to get a sight hood with Palladium on one side and PD46 on the other.

That's a good choice.
