Title pretty much says it all. I bought a Bushmaster M17s Bullpup after my 18'th birthday ten years ago. Now I'm unsure of what to do with it.
If I sell it, I'll get a new gun but I'll miss the M17s for nostalgia purposes. The new gun would be a new AR or AK.
If I modernize it, I'll have to pay for for about $250 in parts, plus optics and light. And then it will no longer be an 80's collectible. Modernization would include top and bottom rails, new charging handle, cheek rest, optics, flashlight, VG, and a new muzzle device.
If I keep it as-is, I'll be holding on a to a keepsake, but I don't care to use it as a defensive weapon in its factory configuration. It would essentially be nothing but a collectible and a souvenir from my days as a young lad.
What are your thoughts?
