Nope. Leave it alone.
But I would sell it because I expect demographic shifts will gradually soften the collector market. (More collections coming on the market than new collectors getting started.)
Interesting....also, the guys who create a lot of the demand for pre 64's are not getting any younger.Many of the younger generation doesn't even know what they are.....nor do they care.Heck, most of them think a Classic is a real M70....
Cartod I understand the conundrum....
But by not shooting it,you are not gonna get any more days on earth;be afforded extra brownie points,nor be granted more hunting time.Using a rifle you really like is one of life's simple pleasures.
Posterity will not thank you for leaving behind a mint specimen.....when you are gone,the world will try to graft it from your heirs at the lowest possible price.If they decide to keep it, they will not mind that you enjoyed it while you were here.
So, shoot it,hunt it, or trip it now. Life is too short for dust-gathering safe queens.
