I agree, why shoot a pristine one, there are plenty of shooters out there.I gotta agree with Olyeller. I'd keep that one like it is. The model isn't exactly rare, but in that condition they certainly are pretty rare. And they will just keep getting rarer and rarer as time goes by. I have the same exact gun but it's been carried a decent bit and I have no box, papers or tools. Same gun, but not really the same. They are great guns but there are too many shooters out there to let one drop out of that particular pool IMO.
