[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2094232, member: 385"] There are Springfield .30-'06's out there that have been shot, ample of them. If this one truly hasn't been fired since the day it left the arsenal, then perhaps its best to leave it unfired. Too many fired examples out there to enjoy. Years ago I ended up with an 03-A3 in unfired condition. Couldn't bring myself to shoot it. Instead I lucked into another 03-A3 with 50-100 rounds fired; that one I shoot. Both externally look about the same, but internally, looking close, you can tell the slight use. I'd caution working the action, cranking on screws, etc of the one referenced by the OP. Leave as near pristine as possible. [/QUOTE]
