Everybody has to have atleast one gun you got rid of, rather sold or traded whatever the reason.3 for me Winchester 94 30-30,6mm Remington 788, and Ruger in 264 winchester mag. The 6mm and 264 were my deer slayers. I just miss my 30-30. I go my dads 30-30 now. I aint ever gettin rid of that one

All of THEM!! Which is a lot!!

Agreed. I wish I had them all back. I hate selling them for that reason.

The only ones I don't regret losing are the ones I gave away as gifts to friends and relatives.

Colt 1911 s/n C94375, Smith & Wesson pre-Model 27 "357 Magnum" with 5" barrel, Smith & Wesson genuine factory, 5" barrel nickel Model 29, ditto factory 52 barrel Model 29 but with blue finish. Smith & Wesson pre-production Model 57.

Rifles and shot guns? Not really they are all tools.

My first centerfire, a 30-06 winchester bolt action cheapie. I'll bet it's still doing it somewhere.

Have to agree with that one. Back in my young poor days I would have to sell one toy to make $$ for the next so the darn list is way longer than I care to think about.

I had a few bolt actions, they were flawed in some way but still unique:

Omega.
Koon Texas Magnum.
Nikko golden eagle.
BSA Majestic (damn damn damn)

Money got really tight a few years ago. I was forced by circumstances to sell a William Evans Double Rifle made in 1893 and chambered for 450/400 3 1/4 nitro express. It had the original wood and leather case, dies, brass and over 50 loaded rounds.

I'll never be able to replace it.

Winchester Model 23, 12GA

ruger#1 in .243 about 15 yrs ago... it had some exhibition grade bastogne on it. i didn't much care for the chambering but i sure can't afford to get a #1 now, anymore....
markX in roberts with i think, a herters stock.... one of the all time nicest shooting guns i've ever had....don't remember what in the world propted me to get rid of it.....
markX in 7mag....as much as i like the 7's, it would be nice to have yet. sold it to my B-I-L for a song. a short while after, my sister and he divorced and he sold it to a buddy of his for better than twice what he paid me....live and learn....sucks to be young and dumb.
my little venezualen in 6.5x55.,mannlicher stocked, shot about 1-1/2" no matter what i fed it. sold to a good hunting buddy for his daughter's first deer rifle...at least it went to a good cause......
i have a new rule, now..... once i own it, they can do whatever they want with it when i'm not suckin' air anymore.

I am an orphanage for guns. I have never sold a single gun that I've purchased. Listening to all of you, I'm kind of glad now that I haven't.

+1 on never selling a gun

Had a remington 700 bdl 7 mag with a 4 digit ser. no.With imr 4350 and a 160 sierra.You could shoot a 5 shot group that was scary.The first two would stretch the hole the next 3 you thougt you had missed the whole damn target.I owned that rifle twice.Stupid the first time pure dumbass the seconed.Anybody else ever had this disease.Im eat up with it.(LMAO)

The stupidest thing I ever sold was an original M1 Carbine folder, c/w original canvas leg pouch. I'll never forgive myself for that one.

What made it especially wrong was that is was a bring-back by a Canadian paratrooper, who picked it up from an already deceased American when they all jumped together on the day the Allies crossed the Rhine. The Canadian tossed his Sten (which he said he knew damn well would get him killed) and picked up the M1 from an American who didn't make it to the ground alive. In hindsight, I probably could have tracked it back to the family of the man that it was issued to, and that's what I regret most.

Mea Culpa. That was more than 40 years ago, and I was too young and stupid to know better.

40X SN:00017 barrel marked 244 Remington and had a custom shop 1:10" twist with a Remington 24X scope. I got it from Mike Remington just before he died.

Rich
Buff Killer

are you kidding me?All of them!!! roger

Sako Vixen 222 mag. and a rem 700 244 bull barrel.

Basically, I've only ever sold guns that just sucked to use.......... an 835 Mossberg (like swinging a deckpost), a Savage 99C (action worked as smooth as tank tracks), a 700 ADL .270 (just a turd to use with cold hands).

But I did trade off a Model 70 Lightweight Carbine (post '64 pushfeed) in .308 that I'd give my left nut to have back.

Pristine unmarked 1908 DWM 7mm. A custom Martini Hornet. Kimber 22 till I got another. everything else that has passed through the safe has left me with fond memories but no regrets.

Couldn't have said it better...

another one for all of them.. one comes to my mind was a NICE BROWNING BPS WITH A 22IN. BARREL. My oldest is a double barrel rabbit eared. 12 gage made in BELGIUM IN 1892. that was bought new by my great granddaddy. that will always be with me.

I've only got rid of three.A Mberg 500 12g,Winchester 94/30-30,Lyman GPR 50cal.They were all good but I do wish I'd kept the GPR.

My dad always taught me to never sell guns. That being said, he and I have sold some guns when it was profitable, and then purchased other guns. There are 2 I regret selling. One was a basic Rem 700 in .22-250, it has been replaced by a far superior varmint rifle, but it just had special meaning I guess. The other was a Beretta 682 that had been received a full Briley treatment and won many a sporting clays tournament. I should have retired it to wall hanger status. One that will never be sold is my Sako .270 and the family heirloom, a Remington 3200, custom engraved.

many years ago my wife bought me a matched pair of browning a-5s. 20 and 12 guage. they were too pretty to hunt, so they sat around. years later i sold them both. i've rgeretted that decision many, many times. such is life!

I keep any gun that i've purchased. I don't sell or trade any gun that I have. Right now I have 36 rifles, shotguns and pistol,revolers.
They all mine

I haven't ever sold a gun that I didn't later regret selling. But one of the ones I regret selling the most was a Browning autoloading .22LR

like said above...........all i ever sold i want back!!!!
especially my ruger #1 in 375 h&h
remington 700 in 25/06
remington 223
remington bull barrel 308
target model 10/22
6mm
like i said most of them that i sold!

A model 94 Winchester in .32-40.

A Savage 99 in .303 Savage

A Browning Hi-Power (9mm)

Sob . . .

I have only sold a few and regret selling them all aside from one.
A Mossberg 20g. pump. I'll never own another Mossberg of any variety.

I most regret selling a Marlin/Glenfield model 60 .22. That was the first gun I bought.

I don't sell guns anymore unless I buy one for the purpose of turning it.

The only one I'd really like back was a heavy barrel M70 225win with a Lyman 10x scope. That thing was a bug holer with about anything I ever put in it.

Acouple come to mind that I don't care about like a post64 M70 in -06 it was a club, an accurate club but still a club. An a Belgian Light 12 A-5, might be a collector but it was a club also. An S&W mod 25 has been missed as has a Ruger convertible Single Six. Other than those, I keep buying bigger safes so I don't sell anything anymore. The kids and grandkids will get them. And if Barry and his henchmen try to take them away, they will be met with hot lead.

Remington M700 BDL in .338 Win Mag. too much for deer in SC. Wish I had it back though.

Winchester M70 Laredo in 7mm Rem Mag. Still not crazy about the caliber, but wish I still had the gun.

never sold any of them
