This is all getting a little bit too anal if you ask me, I'm glad to label myself a shooter rather than a collector. As long as its complete and serviceable then I consider myself lucky to own a piece of my ancestors proud military history. If one needs a rifle to be so correct then it must be so a monetary value can be attached, and IMHO thats the wrong reason to be its owner.
JUST MY OPINION, I'M ENTITLED TO IT AS YOU ARE TO YOURS!
