"However, what's the point of owning it if you're never going to shoot it?"
My feelings exactly. About 12 years ago, I bought a nickel 8 3/8" M27 that was new in the box. I bought it, went out and shot it and then had it re-barreled to 5". Then shot it some more.
If someone wants to buy a gun and not shoot it, that's their choice. More than likely, after that person is dead and gone, the next owner will probably shoot it. I prefer to shoot my own guns and let some one else worry about the value after I'm gone.
