My guns are just tools. I do favor the old lever guns and my 1874 Sharps replica. Adoring or cherishing any of them however would not be following the Word of God. Too many people in this world idolize things like money, cars, guns or whatever and have no interest in God. Sorry for the rant but that's how I feel. I sort of know where you're coming from though. We all have our favorite I'm sure. Right now mine is my Winchester 94 BigBore in 375 Win.
