This is extremely timely for me, as I am putting my house (back) on the market and considering how best to reduce the volume of my belongings overall. I have two easy-to-move safes (one key-operated, the other biometric) and my friend has offered to let me store them (and their contents) on his...
Thanks. I plan to do so. As mentioned, I'm less concerned about its worth than I am about any historical value. If I can ensure that it's been arsenal-reworked in the postwar era, then I'm less concerned about keeping it intact (those gunsmiths "broke the seal") and I'm willing to lightly mod it...

Chuck et al., would you consider offering dry-fire training for folks using this tool? I'd totally sign up for a few sessions to perfect using the tool, getting an initial evaluation and instruction for improvement, and follow-up evaluations following, say, a week's worth of practice. I'd do...
