It's a quality that is all but impossible to define in quantitative terms.
It's like asking what makes one woman attractive and another not.
It's like trying to explain why someone would restore an old tractor with a flathead four cylinder engine when he could buy a 4 year old Mahindra diesel for less money.
And it's possible a plastic stocked gun could have soul....let's suppose you carried it for 10 years in Alaska then through an Arctic nightmare that you barely lived through where it was your only means of survival. Plastic or not, by the time that was over it would have soul.
