I've owned quite a few pre 64's in the past but only have one custom pre war by Mark Penrod that I'll never sell.
I can think of quite a few I'd like to have back. I had a couple of featherweights with the al. buttplates in both 30-06 and 270. Both were great shooters.
Another was a pre war in 30-06 that was around 95% but had a hole drilled in the rear and had redfield mounts. It shot real well too and what a classy gun.
I've owned several more but the one I lusted after, years ago, was an early 375HH. My friend ended up with a 1950 model near mint.
The one I wished I'd never sold would be a pre war 270 with a Lyman from the factory and the rear receiver was not drilled. I bought it from a guy that inherited it from his dad, who had bought it new. This was at gun show and a friend and I had a table. Minty rifle. Bought it for $900 and sold it the same day for $1300. Quite a few years ago but I wish I had put that one under the table and kept it!
