We are a collectors organization but I'll bet you there are far more members who shoot their Parkers, Winchesters, Fox's etc. than those who just store them away for posterity. I have had NIB guns and kept them for a while and never used them. The time came when I just didn't see the point anymore and sold them to a "collector". I like and enjoy a nice gun as much as anyone but it has to be something I'm not afraid to use.
