It is not a collectible rifle.
At a gun show I witnessed some dickering over a gun with $50 price tag. The prospective buyer complained, "It has been reblued. That ruins the collectability."
That puzzled me.
Now you reveal another situation where collectibility comes in quantum states.
That puzzles me.
I guess I started buying Winchesters and it could be called collecting. But I never bought guns because I was collecting per some collecting rules. I saw condition as starting at LNIB and going continuously down hill and botched mods to the state of wallhanger.
