I came across a 4 digit Ruger Deerslayer 44 mag carbine and bought it. This was the name of the gun before Ithaca sued them and made them change the name to just Carbine. An avid Ruger collector just had to have it and I sold it. Well last year Michigan changed their law and allowed 44 mag rifles to be used in the southern zone. If I had that rifle it would be perfect for my southern Michigan hunting spot. Being a first year gun, accurate, and functionally perfect would have been my cup of tea. Bummer.

I have bought and sold many. Really no regrets. I just try to keep getting better guns and sell the ones that I really don't shoot anymore.

Gotta be plural.....literally dozens and dozens, but you have to get over it, and remember that the sale or trade, allowed you to play with something new.

I sold a Rem 788 in 22-250 to finance a Dillon 550. Bought it back from him several years later. He was using it for a "truck gun" Pretty much trashed but now it looks beautiful again.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I sold 2 -- then they stopped making them
Which version? The .22lr/.410 (which I love) haa now been reintroduced as the model 42 with synthetic stocks.

Wait a minute, wait a minute! You mean people ACTUALLY SELL GUNS AFTER BUYING THEM? Really? I'd heard mental illness was on the rise, but i thought it was just a rumor.....

Hopefully, they want to somebody else who is having fun with them.
Other than the memories (which you get to keep anyway), they're just stuff, or tools.

It is nice to see that I am not an orphan when it comes to regret over guns that got sold. While it is best not to look back there are some that just make your brain ache.

Not me. I've sold a lot of my guns, and only marginally regret a couple of them. I don't idolize guns, they're just stuff, same as cars or anything else. I've got no problem selling a gun that I don't use or isn't exactly what I want, I'll leave the safe accumulation to the collectors.
