Do any of you guys have a nickname for your favorite gun? I named my 66 powermaster "Vera". Shes my only gun so shes definitely my favorite 
(maybe I'm just weird)
I've posted pics of her before but here she is again!

No- it's just you, you're weird.  Actually, I have no idea if it's weird, but I have never made a habit of naming inanimate objects other than children's stuffed animals and such- so I can't say.
How's the paint holding up so far on that Crosman? Any chips or flaking so far? |

| the paint is starting to flake off the barrel and the scope. I probably should have sanded them before painting so it would stick better. It still looks great on the forend and stock though(except for a little bit near the trigger, apparently bug spray will remove the paint almost instantly) |

I hear ya. If you didn't sand the barrel that's one thing- but if you didn't wipe it down with paint thinner, lacquer thinner or alcohol- the metal may also have oils in/on it that will keep the paint from adhering properly- i.e. gun oils and hand/finger oils. Good that the plastics are holding up reasonably well.
And who knew bug spray made for a good paint thinner?  |

Mine is a QB 78 and I call it "Quickie" which stands for "Built Quickly in 78 seconds".

A friend of mine named his flintlock blunderbuss Bloody Mary.
Can't say I ever named any of my guns, though.

| Naming your gun because they say so in a movie is the last reason why I would name my gun. But as you can see in my signature I do have a bit of a nickname for my Umarex though I hardly use it. |
