If you need something to punch paper,buy cheap... I would not dare let the airlines touch it...
I did not help much..but I say no, leave it alone.
I always said I would not be one of those collectors who wouldn't shoot there guns. However, I also never thought that some of these Winchesters would appreciate in value so much. I have taken this to the range a couple times, but can't pull the trigger.


Personally I would not shoot it, unless of course you were booked on a hunt for buffalo or elephant. If you were, then the 9K the gun is worth is just not a factor. If you are not going to shoot it and don't need the money then keep it as is.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
