I was in a local shop and picked up a unfired polytech AKS. I is in great shape I have wanted one for a long time. My wife is suggesting that a keep it unfired as a collectors piece. What do you guys think shoot it or keep it the way it is.

There is no way in **** I would shoot it. I would buy a WASR, Romy G, or Tantal for that. NIB are extremely rare.

I bought a .357 Maximum Ruger SRM years ago. "Unfired". Until the next weekend rolled around. I shot the bejeezus out of it until I got bored with it and sold it. I made money.
I have a pre model number Combat Masterpiece S&W (yeah, the one with all of the "screws'). It, too, was "unfired" when I bought it... until the next weekend. It's worth far more than I paid for it even after a few hundred rounds. It ain't for sale.
I paid some pretty big bread recently for a 1962 Colt National Match that appeared to have had very few rounds thru it. I probably doubled the amount of rounds thru it within the first couple of weekends. It's worth more than I paid for it. Oh, it ain't for sale either.
Point is, if it's really that nice and you aren't the one that paid extra money because it's "unfired" (like any gun leaves the place of manufacture without being proof tested, which means it HAS been fired, and that's the reason for my quotation marks on the word unfired) you can shoot it, take good care of it and you'll still make money when the time comes that you want to part with it.
If you just want to play with it (mental masturbation) why didn't you save a bunch of money and buy a toy or a video game?
A gun's a tool. Tools are worthless if you don't use them.
I'd buy a case of ammo and have a ball with it. But, that's just me.
Oh, and quit worrying about what other's think....
Come on orygun. If you have an opinion just state it. Stop beating around the bush
Whatever dude, shoot it! Guns are made to be shot, who cares how expensive or rare it is. Nothing beats high volume shooting
