Guns you let go that you wish you hadn't....

[Guest 2HOW]

Before I moved to Tn. I sold 5 handguns I wish I had them all back, Charter Arms bull dog .44spl, 1911 70 series on para frame, Ruger GP100 .357 , Star BKS 9mm, derringer in .357 Sold or traded a few rifles too. oh well

[graycrait]

Ruger Speed Six in 9mm with 30 moonclips, moonsetter and demooner; S&W K22 pre-17 5-screw, S&W 19-2 4" that was truly the slickest shooting trigger job I have ever done; CZ 85 Combat.

Belgian Browning Sweet Sixteen:cry:

[Guest HexHead]

Belgian made Hi-Power. I really miss this gun and can't find one like it

I traded one to Nashville Sporting Arms on Charlotte Pike in west Nashville about two weeks ago.

[PackinMama]

Model 94 Winchester lever action .22 and a 1940's model Colt Woodsman. I didn't get rid of these by choice. My home burned down in '95 and I lost several guns along with these two They were both given to me by my dad, who passed away a few years ago. My dad taught me how to shoot at four years old with that .22 Winchester, and the Woodsman was in perfect beautiful condition and was so much fun to shoot. Sure wish I had those today:(

[LA_357SIG]

I can't believe it either, but a 4" .357M Taurus 66. I got it for my wife and she didn't like (shooting) it so I traded it on a Ruger SP101. (which she didn't like either)

My Dad had a belgim made Browning Hi-power. It was the first handgun I ever shot as a kid. Just him and I at my grandparents farm, on my 10th birthday. Over the years, we swaped it back and forth, between each others houses. On one occasion, while it was at his house, my sorry a$# uncle (yes, Dad's brother) stole it! I guess everyone has someone in their family who is a sorry piece of s&*t. We threatened and we bribed, but he never would fess up and turn it over. I recently bought on just like it on gunbroker so I could pass it on to my son one day. Still, it just is not the same.

I have the one my dad owned. It will never to be sold. It was made in 1956 and I still shot it. Probably going to take it out here in a little bit and put some rounds through it.

I had a Model 13 S&W revolver that I owned, sold, bought back and ended up selling again. Wish I'd have kept it, it'd shoot one ragged hole at 7 yrds. double action all day long. It was a VERY sweet shooting gun. I wish I still had my pair of Model 27's(8 3/8" and 3 or 3 1/2", can't remember) they were some of the best finished revolvers I've ever owned. Wish I still had the Mossberg 590, 18" bbl that I swapped for a semi-auto Uzi. I'm sure they're others but those come to mind right now.

[VERO1]

Geez where to start. I had new gunitus bad for a while in the 80's.

Several of all these: Hipowers, Gold Cups, Government&commander Series 70 colts,boat load of model 29's with wood cases,a few model 27"s and lets not even start on the rifles.

[ShaunM]

My brothers pawn'd my browning 22 semi auto pistol, regret that. As far as selling guns I had a Weatherby 7mm mag with a 2.5-10x50 world class scope loved that gun sorry I sold it.

Belgian Browning Sweet Sixteen:cry:

Ouch! I feel your pain. My Dad borrowed a Browning Sweet Sixteen from an uncle for me to learn to hunt with back in the early 70's. Boy did it hurt to see that beauty go back.

Sako L-461 Heavy Barrel in 223 w/Leopold 6.5-20 VIII

Ruger Super Blackhawk 3 Screw with a 4 digit serial number

Colt Ar15 Sporter bought new in 1981

Remington 40X w/Unertl 12X scope

Bunches of Ruger Number 1's

Bunches of Leupold scopes

[K191145]

In the mid 90s when I was hard up for some cash I sold a 6" barrel Stainless Colt Python, great shape. I miss some of the others but the Python really hurts.

I kinda miss my Kimber but I trust the reliability of my Glock 21SF I traded it for.

[alamogunr]

A Remington Rand 1911. Traded a 1917 Colt revolver w/half moon clips for it. This was in a shop in Nebraska while working a summer job in college. Sold the 1911 so I could buy a Ruger 10-22. This was in 1964. I let a Ithica 16 ga. get away somehow about this time. I wish I had them all back. I do still have the 10-22.

[Guest page90lx]

Milled receiver AK I bought for $175 new in the box, thats not even a good down payment nowdays:(

[Guest Killthewabbit]

HK 91...I let it go about 15 yrs. ago for 1200. Now they're close to twice that.

[Guest GUTTERbOY]

I've regretted every sale I've made... though that consists of three. Had a Browning BPS Stalker that I got for cheap brand-new, and a XDSC that was my carry gun back in NC. Had to sell both of those during a tight spot about a year ago- I had been in a bike wreck and was out of wok for three weeks, with med bills on top of that.

But the one I really regret was the first gun I bought, a Marlin 25N bolt .22. Nothing special, just a $130 rifle that picked off its fair share of squirrels. But being the relentless tinkerer I am, I dropped a Rifle Basix trigger in that thing, sanded out the barrel channel to free-float the barrel, and with a little expeimentation with action screw torque, I had that thing shooting pretty good groups. In fact, it shot just as tight as my buddy's Sako Finnfire, a fact that I rubbed in his face several times.

[Guest E L Mclemore]

WISH I STILL HAD THEM ALL:(

[Guest 70below]

I miss my Russian SKS, French MAS 36, and Century CETME, all of those were my doing.....the guy I REALLY miss though was my dad's Marlin 39a .22LR. It was one of my favorite rifles I ever shot, and my dad gave it to a friend of his that liked it when he retired.

[Guest Charlesdht]

I'll tell you a gun you should never purchase, one you haven't researched. I bought a carbon 15 pistol (Basically an ar-15 w/ a shorter barrel) made by performance ordinance. A good gun great condition, and i liked it i really did. But when I found a gun that I wanted more i couldn't sell it. I have currently had it on consignment for a month at Coal Creek Armory in Knoxville. Aparently, no one in this area wants one. If anyone wants one i will sell it to you for cheap PM me if you are interested. I'm a UT student and i could really use the money.
