I dont know much about black powder guns other than the fact that my smooth bore T/C .56 cal gets me a few extras days in the deer woods every year so I figured I would bounce a question off you folks.

A buddy of mine purchased a T/C Black Diamond Millenium Edition off a black powder traditionalist who won the gunat a game dinnerraffle a few years back. The gun has a black laminate stock, Leupold scope, and hard case with a "starter kit". The serial numbers on the gun, scope and case all match. The gun is unfired, new in the box.....

My questions are.... is this gun collectible? Should he leave it in its unfired condition? Or, should he be out chasing deer with it? Does anyone know how much it is worth. I have looked on the internet and cant find any info.
Thanks
