Quote, Verse, Line, Logo or Saying on your guns?

My Ingram SMG says "SAFE - FIRE - FULL".

In somewhat of the same vein of my, "Do you name your guns" question. Do any of you guys have any Quotes, Lines, Verses, Passages, Logo, or Sayings on your guns at all?

I don't have pictures of any of them, but I have a sticker of the Jolly Roger of Calico Jack Rackham on any of my guns that have synthetic/polymer/plastic stocks and it'll fit.

I have "Liberty or Death" on my AR and Rem 700.

I don't know if this counts, but I colored in the Fire/Safe portions of a few of my rifles with red/white, and I colored the logo white on one of my pistols.

I am trying to think of something to put on my TCR 22, I am going to write it on with sharpie, because it can be erased with nail polish remover, if I ever decide to sell it.

So I wanted to ask you guys.
1. Do you have any ideas for me to put on my 22?
2. Do you have anything on your rifles/pistols?

Let me know!!!

Nope. I think any sort of political or "death" inscription on a carry gun is a very bad idea.

Couldn't agree more. Even... Or the like, can be used against you in a rightful SD shooting. Lawyers know how to twist things in thier favor, even if your totally righteous. Why give them an excuse to play you off as some sort of mercenary. Adding something like this a bad idea imo.

I have a 'Game Ranger' aka 'Anti-Poacher' FAL rifle with elephant & rhino engravings, and 'Help save us' on it as well.

These were built for various South African governments, and issued to rangers fighting poachers.

''Aim small miss small'' (from The Patriot)

NHT (Now Hear This) from...well....

I have one with "Glock 19. Austria" engraved on the slide.

I put some bright green on the side of the hammer on my M92. It makes for a very quick visual indication that the rifle is not cocked and therefore in a safe condition.

Thanks for the explanation,,,
But no, I didn't copy them.

The idea popped into my head from the old Superman intro.

"... truth, justice, and the American way."

Was that a S&W Model 10 in the intro?

I like the idea of dust covers being engraved with caliber if other than 223/556.

Nothing that I have put on myself. I do have guns with initials, SS numbers, etc on them.

my wife picked one that says “If you ain’t Texan you ain’t s***” so I brought it. I ain’t Texan but she is a native Texan

This one always makes me smile. Whenever I see this or variations of it I ask them (assuming appropriate relationships) “so, does that mean that if you ARE Texan, you ARE s***??”

My guns are all cosmetically stock. I find stickers and painting to be a little tacky. Engravings can be nice to commemorate something, but that's still something I wouldn't do.

The closest thing I have is a "Honey Badger" lower from Spikes. Normally I avoid those types of things, but I picked it up cheap on Armslist, and the icing on the cake is my wife and I call our 4 year old daughter "The Honey Badger". So one day, I'll have to pass this gun on to her.

I don’t like words on firearms.
I may have names for some, but when the mind that did, conceptualized these designs they were not thinking of there being the roll marks and warnings, or even model numbers on the side of the thing.

My own Silverback wears it’s moniker in an elegant single word, small and to the bottom left of the left side of the slide. And it wears it completely unnecessarily. Who tattoos their own name on themselves?

Obviously the world does not work this way, but if a rifle is beautiful and custom and expensive, I don’t see why there need be any inscription, mark, blemish or defacement. A man that has a rifle like that knows what it is. And it should have come with brass and a first load write up, as well as a stock matched, fleece lined case and scope cover.

And if it be a pistol, then the time for words has ended...

No “Molon Labe” for me.
Graceful arcs, scales, feathers, hard lines, checking and stipple. Polished bluing, satin stainless steel, gorgeous figure and fine grain. Smooth transitions, tool mark-less stone flat surfaces. Preciously, precise radii. The only shape and mass necessary for energy to travel from your mind to across the field, and no more.

Words, just get in the way.

I feel a twelve gauge AR 15 says enough as it is...

As an homage to the movie "Pulp Fiction", I nominate "Ezekiel 25-17...

I feel like a 22 hunting rifle should be something like “grocery getter” or “dinner bell ringer”.

My Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Spl came from the factory named "BOOMER". It's actually pretty fitting.

That's brutal, man...absolutely brutal.

Do you guys remember when ACOG got into hot water, so to speak, for putting Bible references at the end of their part numbers on the scopes that went to the Army?

And if you know what movie that image is from, we're probably going to be best friends...

As almost all of my guns could be sold off in the event of a true emergency where money was a limitation to my survival (medical trauma or emergency surgery) I don’t think writing on them will positively increase their marketability or value.

So no, not for me.

Not unless the gun came with a saying on it.
