Here's my list of mispronounced gun names. Can you think of any others? :)

- Smithin Weston
- Aero Percussion
- Sig Saucer
- Wing Chester
- Holler & Holler
- Rugby
- Mossenberger
- Rockin Rivers
- LewJer
- Bushmeister
- Merlin
- Normal (Norma)
- Bursta
- Walters
- Ramington
- Husker Varny
 
Not a rifle, but related - hearing people say LEO Pold makes my head explode.
So is it lea-pold or lew-pold or lewa-pold?

Living close to their headquarters/factory and meeting a few people that have worked for them, you would think I would know...but I have heard all three pronunciations over the years by people that should know...

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
