Regret selling x,y,or z
I regret selling a styer AUG. it was imported and the older style hanguard and was in black. I bought it from a guy going back to England around 2005 and sold it for twice what I paid because I needed the money at the time. Regrets, yes but at the time the trigger was horrible, due to a bull pup connect feature, but man was it Nokatomi Plaza Cool to show your friends.
Do you have any regrets as far as firearms sold in the past?

Had a S&W 686 no dash with a 6" barrel. Very short sighted of me to sell it back in the 90s. 0 -
most all of them I sold when i was younger , circumstances seemed to always come up I would have to sell the gun(s) to pay / fund something .
of course at teh time it was normaly a t a loss to make it worse [V]
but I could say the same about some of the cars I have had as a hobby / toy0 -

I wish I had my M1 Garand back. sigh 0 -
I had an M1A and a Springer 1911 GI Spec that I wish I still had.
Had to sell them to pay for the wife's nursing school.0 -
The only guns I don't regret selling were either total crap or were replaced by better examples of the same model. 0 -
I've never sold a firearm. Although I have had some taken/stolen by ex-lovers. All those firearms I regret not calling the cops on them over them taking/stealing them[V] 0 -
A commercial Johnson. Reason--shortage of funds. 0 -
Smith and Wesson model 53 as new as it could be with the inserts, in a box for $200. i made $50 on it and thought i was a hero. 0 -
My first rifle,a Marlin 39A and number two a Remington model 12 NRA edition 22 pump rifle in excellent condition. I lost the Marlin to a pawn shop when I was young and stupid and I traded the Remington for a 9-0 Penn reel and a custom rod when I was into shark fishing back in the 1970?s. 0 -
None Sold but a couple were stolen. Have most replaced now Except a 308 Norma Mag all that I get are no where near as accurate as the one stolen was it also has the stock engraved not a professional job but also not terrible, And a early edition Colt Gold cup 9MM never even fired it got it in the early 80's on a Sgts pay took me a while to pay that one off. 0 -
None sold but I'm trying to. Kahr K40 and a Hi-Standard Supermatic Citation that came with the 7" space barrel, weights and a compensator. Included are 6 or 8 barrels. Maybe I need to send her out to Casey? Or part her out? Hate to but I'm sure I'll make more money. 0 -
A WW2 manufacture date M1 garand. It literally looked like a tank ran it over it was so rough. It shot great though and I used it deer hunting for a couple years.
Replaced it with a purty H&R Garand from Mark C. but I wish I had kept the WW2 one.0 -
I've only ever sold 3.
Have traded a few. Usually, if not always, to the good.
I regret selling my Charter Arms AR-7, take down .22lr. (Around 1981) An Army Buddy wanted it for his wife.
It was a really neat, reliable little plinker.0 -

Got a little 22 takedown. Best no silenced gun, put subsonic in it and it makes no noise. My pellet gun makes more noise.0 -
Madsen M47. Bolt action 30-06. In mint condition WITH bayonet w/ matching SN. It was 1968, was really short on money. The buyer stiffed me for half of the $50 purchase price.
If I ever run across him again, I have 3 ironworkers that owe me a favor. Just sayin....[B)]0 -
A few years ago I started buying back similar to the ones I regretted selling also buying the ones I regretted passing on ... fortunately, in both cases there weren't many of either. 0 -

Sold my NM Garand while I was a GI in 1964 to help pay for honeymoon. Think I sold it for $80 or $85. Believe they are selling for around $4,000 now? Yep, really dumb. 0 -

not me but a local fellow had a hemi cuda ( the real deal 1970 ) this was about 20 -25 years ago or so , he had owned it for years some fellow in California tracked it down wanted to buy it called relentless from what I was told
he flew into Ohio "to just look at at " as the owner had said no way he would sell
well 10K later ( at the time a nice chunk of change ) the cuda had a new home and local fellow,,, well he still has a dark cloud that hangs over him
over letting it go . and his buddies still remind him [:(]
mine was a 1969 real z-28 sold 6K wife told me I had to sell some of my toys .. s should have sold the wife she has just gotten older the Z-28 more valuable [:D][:D]0 -
Everyone except a Sig Mosquito. That thing was a turd. Recently, I have been thinking about a Ruger 77 heavy barrel 220 swift I sold several years back. I miss that rifle. 0 -

Shortly after getting out of the Navy in '56 I needed money for something or other.
A guy really wanted my Winchester Model 70 30-06...15 minutes after I sold it I regretted turning loose of it. I have wished a hundred times I still had it.0
