Ok, ponder this. A highly collectible and valuable Parker that seems tight with the forend on but slightly loose with it removed....... fix it and void the "untouched" collectible criteria or fix it (tighten it) and restore its functionality?

I'm just wondering what the "die hard Parker" enthusiast would do. Remember, I'm talking highly collectible, holy grail class Parker shotgun. Do you keep it the way it is or do you bring it back to life so it can be used? If I can't shoot it, it isn't truly a shotgun but if I "fix it" is it still desirable ......? A quandary, huh!

Opinions?

Thats a great question.If the fix is done right its undetectable.If I were going to shoot this gun regularly I would have it repaired.
