years several of my series names have been "borrowed". But it isn't worth getting uptight about. There is a registry of trademarked names that I try to check and make sure I am not copying anyone else's series name but if they don't have it trademarked then there is no way I can know. And mine aren't trademarked either. Years ago Colt sent me a nasty letter about one of our series that used the name Frontier and threatened to sue me, so rather than fight them, I dropped it. H&R did the same about their Survivor shotgun as I was using the Survivor name on our Urban Survivor. I had never heard of their Survivor shotgun and thru the years I may have unintentionally copied some other company's series name but it wasn't intentional and it was never brought to my attention.

Nothing these days is truly original, whether it be a name, a caliber or a style of gun, so it simply isn't worth getting ticked off about it.
