    OK I guess I had better amplify that, as clearly I have rubbed a few people up the wrong way.

    What I meant was, I would pass on many collectors guns, as I buy to use, and use frequently, and prefer to leave the pristine examples to those that cherish such things and will only give them limited use. I also respect the 'mint in box, never fired' examples and agree it would be sacrilege to use and possibly damage a very rare item. I tend to look for a very good example but generally wouldn't worry about a box, pellets etc. I also tend to stick to one example of a particular gun and not pursue one of each variant. I certainly never meant to imply that our collectors never fire their guns, honest!

    This policy also saves a little money too

    Thus enabling me to buy more

    After all, who'd want to plaster a nicely preserved Magnum in red paint

    I've been trying to drill the rear plug pin out of a pre war MK1 pistol. I was going to ask for some advice on it, but some of them would have a heart attack!

    Nahh ... Not rubbed up the wrong way at all my friend, as love the banter big time, and didn't for a single moment take any offence whatsoever . All the very best to you and all here in Pistol Paradise, and to all in this section, I also say ...
