Replace Matching Parts Before Shooting?

[HerrKaiser]

I don't like to own weapons that I do not shoot at least once. I personally give my matching guns a one time trip to the range, and they get 1 or 2 mags to ensure function. After that they get a "white glove" level of cleaning, then they're off limits for good.

Yeah yeah, I know that it only takes one shot to break a part, but I am willing to take that risk. See above for the reason. As much as I would hate to see someone break a part by repeatedly shooting a collectible gun, these guns were made to shoot in the first place. It is not my place to tell people how to enjoy themselves and their own property, no matter how risky or stupid that may be depending on the value of it. Just my opinion which the first amendment gives me the right to have, and gives you the right to ignore or ridicule as you please.
