What's in A (User) Name?

**AR15barrels** · 23 May 2010, 16:53

Anyone that has been around AR's for at least 5 years will probably recognize my username from all the other forums.
It's the name of my company that specializes in customizing AR-15's.

One of my rifles, a PGWDTI Timberwolf in .338LM.

Nuff said.

**.338** · 2 June 2010, 15:35

When I joined my first forum I wanted a user name that reflected firearms in some light, and at the time I had a .338-06 chucked up in the lathe. So I used .338-06 and shortened it to .338 in my subsequent adventures in cyberspace.

Last thing we say on the radio before our partners paws touch the ground for a track or apprehension. Usually means the call just got a lot more interesting

Hayuya was the Indian Chief ruling my hometown during Columbus era (1470-1513)!
My hometown was named after him, however, nobody that I've seen has been named after him.

My middle name is actually Vise. It is a family name. I come from a long line of metal workers and engineers. My last name is Smith.

**Dualspringfields** · 3 August 2010, 06:03

Dualspringfields= 2 Springfield 1911's

Name I came up with on another forum and it has stuck. Plus I have to have a back-up for all my weapons. Just in case the primary goes down.
2 1911's,2 870's,2 sniper rifles,2 hunting rifles,2 AR's and etc. Kind of anal about it. Before the wife got sick I had two of alot of different weapons.

**Santa** · 5 August 2010, 17:23

My user name is two fold. My last name is often mistaken for Santa's last name but is pronounced different (Klaus, which rhymes with house). In addition, it of course, became my nickname and callsign in the Navy. I was an OS (Operations Specialist) and became an ASAC (Anti-submarine Air Controller) and the instructors gave me the callsign of "Santa". Also, during the holidays, I always have someone see my last name and ask me if I am related to Santa Claus.

I loved this thread! I had a '66 Pontiac GTO for a short time when I was a teenager, and made all my handles that damn goat, because it caused me a lot of trouble, and still makes me laugh.

**Beaux** · 26 September 2010, 20:04

I was cruising the net one day and decided to join a forum and found WE. I just thought I was suppose to use my name ............

**Muddyboots** · 30 October 2010, 13:26

Back in the 80s I had a really great job as a DoD SME for an ARMY unit. I used to stand formation with the guys I was attached to. One day the Team Sergeant bothered to look at my boots which were covered with Massachusetts and yelled "Muddyboots!" It stuck. Hard. Everyone started calling me that. They even gave me name tapes that said MUDDYBOOTS on them.

I use it on all forums.

Muddyboots
