What Imbues a Gun With "Soul"?

[Alfred Greeson]

Well, as some might say, That has to be the defining answer that any gun can have soul! That story is why some men will be buried with a favorite shotgun or rifle and a box of their favorite shells, a fifth of their favorite beverage to fight off the cold and no doubt wearing their finest L L Bean boots under a hand sewn suit chosen by their wife. The gentlemen should be carried to his final resting place in a solid walnut coffin in the back of his favorite 1948 Ford F-100. The head stone should note that such a gentleman will rest in peace until the final Hunter's horn is blown to call us all to the great hunting lodge in the sky where all old dogs and hunting buddies will be waiting.

I have a Parker repro with added Merkel 16ga. barrels. This gun shoots hard! I have dumped wild roosters way beyond what a normal 16 should and I stood looking in disbelief! I don't know why but its a hammer in my hands....(-: It is the best rooster gun I own period, its been to Kansas on every trip. It is a young shotgun in the realm of things but truly is a special shotgun. Too me it has soul it must have stolen from a 10ga.....(-: SXS ohio

I'll say it has soul - I rubbed those barrels like a budda's belly and recited several incantations over them just before I sent them to you
