Colt Collectors Question

I have a fairly rare Colt Defender Plus (govt size frame)
they only made a few thousand...
Do you think it would lessen it's value if I had it bobbed?

At the risk of being called Captain Obvious I will say yes.

We need more laws to protect these three rights. Ban guns in schools, it obviously works.

Do not modify it! Keep it clean and store it properly. It will appreciate in value.

No doubt. Consider it like an early Corvette, or an early Z-28 Camaro. Leave it original.
