I have purchased some Ruger "Hunters", I don't plan on shooting.  They have, of course, been factory fired.  I do not want to store them dirty.  The question is.  Will it detract from any future "unfired" collectability if I do?

Once you clean them, IMO you  would not be able to prove they were not fired except from the factory. But I don't buy guns to collect, I buy them to shoot. I have an original Remington Rolling Block and I shoot it. I don't think the Ruger hunters will have any collectors value, other than someone looking for a shooter. JMHO.  :D

IMHO: I don't think it will. What do  you plan to do with the sixguns?
