Default My repro hunting gun...

This shotgun has been to Kansas for wild roosters and quail 4 times...it works! Its the hardest shooting 16 gauge I ever owned. The barrels or not factory barrels...they are Merkel barrels added by CSMC. They are choked better/tighter than the original M/F Kreghoff barrels. They are a death ray with fiochi HV 5# The gun still looks pretty good for the miles I have carried it. 6lbs-4oz and is very lively in the hands. It also has a 26" ic/mod barrel set. It would be the last gun I would part with. It has soul and is part of me. SXS ohio

I cannot remember when I got my first repro but it is many years ago. I have had the pleasure, and in some cases, displeasure of using many different guns for grouse and clay targets. It was not until I acquired the repro that I felt I had reached the end of the search for perfection. Very few guns elicit the same emotion when picked up. This gun is special and I have struggled for the word that describes that emotion adequately. Perhaps you have nailed it - soul indeed!

I have had the good fortune to carry this shotgun across many states, different kinds of cover, and behind some of the very best grouse dogs. I've used it to push briars out of the way, fallen with it more times than I care to admit, and even dunked it in a Maine swamp one time. Despite my mishandling it has come through in fine shape. There is still some case color present, the blueing is still quite good, and the stock is in quite good shape considering where it has been.

Yes, this repro has soul. So much so that it is the only gun I have ever given a name - Sweet Pea. I get laughed at by my shooting buddies but until they acquire a gun with soul they will never understand. Go ahead and laugh because I'll have the last one.

I've got a guitar and a mandolin that I've had fro 25 and 15 years that had no soul when I first got them but every time I play music on them, especially when others are playing too, they get a little more soul. They've got quite a bit now. Same with my repros. They hate staying in the safe and with each pheasant that drops or rabbit that tumbles they get a little more soul. That's the way doubles get it. The stocks ding and the colors wear away but the soul accumulates.

MY repro has no soul. It's only seen the insides of factory work rooms, shipping containers, storerooms, gun vaults and it's ever protective case. I don't believe the sun has ever shone it's rays upon it. Certainly no powder has ever fouled it's barrels or no hull was ever kicked out by its ejectors. It's checkering has never been worn smooth by a gloved hand and it's wood has never been marred by a briar or barbed wire. No fur or feather has ever felt it's touch. It is a thing of beauty that has not yet been brought to life.

At least it's got something to look forward to.
