Shooter vs collector

[Edward Tinker]

you paid $1600 - that is a lot of money to some folks - shooter is usually $700-$900 - so you paid approximately twice what a shooter costs

you are the only one who knows if you overspent or bought a collectible and plan on shooting it. Damaging one numbered part degrades the collectability very much - major part like the breechblock and you're talking 40-50% hit...
