shooting collection rifles
It really up to you to shoot your M1C or not ! you could always shoot another M1C too
I have some rifles that I just do not care to shoot: early nice low numbered 1903 rifles and early gas trap M1 rifles. Some do shoot their original gas trap rifles with a firing pin change and possibly a spring change but there are a lot of repro gas traps around to shoot

It was made to be shot, and it most-likely has been shot. I wouldn't abuse the rifle, but I would run it through its paces.
Would you let an AC Cobra sit in your garage and not drive it??? Of course you wouldn't. Well........I wouldn't!

Too Rare
I agree with RCS. Would you mail a letter with your rare 1923 Airmail stamp? Attachment 74357

I don't know about you, but I don't give away my old rifles after I have fired them once. Your analogy is a bit off.

Yep, no analogy is perfect. The point is that stamps are intended to mail letters, but it's not a good idea on some... go to the post office and buy a shooter for that purpose

Man this is one of the only Marine items I'm missing from my collection. I want a documented Marine M1C rifle. I have the Kollmorgen scope and mount, but it's on a 1999 CMP M1C rifle. I keep on hoping that I will run across the serials of the Marine M1C's in the archives, but so far I haven't. They got them pretty late and the Archives basically stops when they first started to come in. Hopefully someday though those documents will be released for public view. I would love to figure out that equation.
I hear you though on not shooting them. I have a real 1903 Unertl Sniper and people make fun of me all the time for not shooting it. But all it takes is one faulty round and it's gone.
