Thanks for posting that, Dean. Bo Whoop has been of great interest to me since about 2003, when I first began to read Buckingham's books. I was uniquely privileged to spend an hour with the gun in Savannah, GA a couple months before the owner sent it to Julia's for auction. A friend of a friend set the meeting up at his office on a rainy October day.
When we scheduled the meeting I immediately called Dave Noreen and we spent considerable time discussing the gun, it's potential to be the real deal, and what i should look for, as far as originality. I measured the bores, chokes, chambers, barrel length, etc. before lastly hefting the old warrior to my shoulder.
As i looked down the rib I thought to myself "I'm shaking the hand that shook the hand". I was keenly aware that I was seeing the very same barrel view that Nash saw so many times, as a greenhead crumpled in mid-air above the cypress tops. To say I was excited would be a gross understatement. My heart felt like it was going to leap from my chest.
Bo Whoop and me:
