Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What gun do you most regret selling?

Colt diamond back 38 sp. 4 inch with pac.roundbutt grips. Had to sell it to pay the house rent ,wound up moving 2 months later anyway

No. 4 Enfield, Birmingham Small Arms (BSA), 1943.

Beat up stock, clean bore, accurate.

There once was a time we took surplus Enfields for granted.

Browning BSS Sporter (straight English style stock) in 20 gauge.

a 40X / 6 PPC rifle , shot 2`s and 3`s all day long was alot of rifle for the money. dang it ! but i had a young family with a nice new house kids were small needed milk.

Once had a matched pair.

Colt Python 6" and a Colt Diamondback 6" 22LR. Both Colt royal blue.

Can I count a pair? One major regret! (kicks toe in DIRT!)

Smith & Wesson Highway Patrolman. I got it when I graduated High School and needed money to finish college.

A Winchester 9422M (22 Mag). Actually, I don’t regret selling it - I regret selling it way too cheaply.

Selling guns is dumb.

Yeah, those things are going for a real premium since they discontinued them. I've still got the one I bought in the early 2000s. Love it. Mine's the Trapper Model, and it's in .22 Long Rifle.

Most people regret having to sell something because of the pain associated with a previously stupid or poor decision they made that led up to having to sell said item.

Example:

“Oh wahhh, I had to sell my class ring because I’m a SIMP and ran up $200 long distance phone bill talking to my MID girlfriend in Iowa”

Don’t sell something you cherish. Take squishy ass doen to Labor Ready and screed concrete for a week, go dig bloodroot, haul scrap iron, work some overtime, work a GD Saturday it won’t hurt you. Fall in with nephew’s roofing crew and be ground bitch.

SIMP?

MID?

WORK?

I wouldn't mind having this 22PPC back.

Good thing so many here are giving away financial advice. I almost consulted with an accountant.

Maybe my 870 special field.
But I havent hunted rabbits in forever.

If I kept em all id have well over 200 LOL

And?

LOL. This is an issue.

Have sold a handful of them. But the only one that I wish I had back, was a m70 XTR varmint 243. Sold it to make rent.

None that I sold, but 2 that were stolen (separate occasions) out of my truck.
Bicentennial Ruger Single Six 5 1/2"
Tuned S&W M12 snubby, bobbed hammer, and one of the sweetest triggers I've ever used or seen.

I tend to agree - I have only sold when I needed money (young dad with a stay-at-home wife in the case of the 9422) or when I was truly done with the firearm (like a Mossberg 835).
