Convert a specialized killstreak weapon to a professional one without losing strange progress

team-fortress-2

I have a specialized killstreak Australium sniper rifle with ~3000 kills. I'de like to make it professional, but ideally without losing the kill counter. Am I able to just apply the professional kit without worry?

Yes.

Killstreak kits only track the kills made in the current life. This isn't permanent information and is lost as soon as you die or leave a server.

The overall kill count is tracked because the weapon is strange... and all Australium weapons are Strange.
