KK, I absolutely want to bring this gun to the field, the thought never crossed my mind to lock her away, assuming she's sound. I'm also a big motorcycle and hot rod nut and the same premise holds true for those things, I never want a trailer queen, I want experience the machine for what it was designed for. But you are correct about the blemish and not having to worry about flawing something pristine. Like my hot rods, I like them with a little age. Then, its not so earth shattering when you get that first scratch or ding ;-).
FWIW, I love all the feedback. I glean a little more knowledge with every post. Thank you all for sharing your insight, opinions and expertise.
