And with all arguments aside the question remains. To shoot or not to shoot? And the question remains to all of us that own a low number. On a personal note I haven't shot mine in over a year and that is usually 10 to 15 rounds on Memorial day and Veteran's day and with light loads. When I finally settle in my last home it will probably go on the wall for good along with the proper bayonet and my grandpa's dog tag. I would love to have a WW1 era Purple Heart and Silver Star to add to it.
