At 81 and in good health my 16 gauge ejector sterlingworth at 5 lbs 13 ounces with a second set of 20 gauge barrels would be hard to beat! Bobby

James & Stan: This wasn't meant to be depressing (although I suppose it could go that way). I'm simply being forced to adapt to some changing conditions here (albeit grudgingly) and was wondering what others had come up with in similar circumstances. Ted's story of his pal on the Munger trail is bit of a downer, but I'm a cockeyed optimist these days (a surprising side-effect of attending too-many funerals lately). I'm looking forward and not back anymore... Lloyd, my post was half tongue in cheek. I'm way to busy looking forward to life and all the great things still to enjoy and look forward to, to worry about what I hope will be a quick downward slide. Hell, send the right woman my way and I'd have another kid!

You are right. I try , and I pray to God to help me finish well . I am pretty sure the few guns I have are nothing more than icons of my sporting dog hunting life . I don't think of them as any more than that .....

I know I'm a nut case, but some of my dove, quail and duck guns are more than that to me. I have given them names that, to me, reflect their "personality". They're the ones I have really bonded with over the years and days afield. Maddie, Susie, Sledgehammer ....... my guns have been an important part of my life for some 62 years. Nothing about that has changed, as I ease into my senior years.
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I’ve never named a gun.
Now dogs, I’ve named. Always somewhat obsolete people names.They were all Setters, kept everybody in familiar territory. Paddy, Gypsy, Stokeley, Louise. I’m thinking the next pooch (Louise is 9 as I write) will be a small, female Gordon Setter named Helen.
I suppose I could name a gun. Maybe Norse names for their Gods? Thor, Magnus, Fenrir, Oden, Loki?
I gotta’ ponder that.
Best,
Ted

Like many here, I have a few to choose from... but for the sake of tradition, my last hunt, coming up sooner than I'd like, will be with a London 'best,' a Charles Lancaster 12-bore central-fire breech-loader from 1864. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/t5r3pE0.jpg)

I built a .500 Linebaugh double rifle years ago…wouldn’t want to shoot it in a handgun! Children should not be playing with such things
