Model 1878 Sharps-Borchardt In 219 Zipper. Was a 1930's vintage varmint rifle. I traded for something I don't remember. Young and dumb.
A Remington Classic in 257 Roberts.
Then there was the Steyr AUG.
I never sell anymore.

Ruger #3 in 22 hornet.

Sold several pieces to buy a computer , but that was the one that still hurts. Really bad decision. The the computer has been replaced several times over, Should have found a different way to finance it.

HK 94...bought it new in 87' and when I shipped out to Germany in 88' I sold it because I didn't want to deal with storage. Always thought I could buy another one when I came back stateside in 93'.

Probably 60 years ago sold a Winchester 22 automatic to a friend, he gave me a small down payment but never paid the balance. Should have known better but needed the money.

I haven't sold many and the ones I have parted with were bought used. Outside of my first deer rifle and 3-4 that I inherited, they're all just tools.

Not me, but my wife's grandfather got rid of a couple lever action octagon barreled rifles when he moved into retirement home/apartment living. He gave me and another grandson-in-law each a rifle, I got the Winchester Model 94 30-30, which is still in pristine condition. My BIL got a .300 Savage. I made out better on that deal!

I had only seen his octogon barreled rifles once, one was a .38-40, which I had never heard of at the time. Afraid to say that a local gun shop in Albuquerque/Santa Fe likely took advantage of him and my wife's uncle who didn't know much about the value of what they had.

That 30-30 will never leave the family and I can't wait until my son and I each have an opportunity to harvest an animal with it.

I semi collected 1976 "Made In The 200th Year Of American Liberty" Rugers. Had a Single Six, Security Six, Mark I, Blackhawk, 10/22 and a 77. Only ones I have left are the Single Six and Mark I. Really wish I still had those other four.

I don't think I have sold or traded a gun that I don't want back. The ones I miss the most are the rifle I harvested my first deer with, and an old Winchester 20 gauge model 12. The model 12 was a very special gun, given to me by my landlord at the first place I lived on my own. I pawned it for almost $300 and there is no telling what it was really worth then or what it might bring today. I just know pawn brokers will only give you about a third to maybe a half what a gun is worth.

Same here. Sold a Model 788 in .243 to a friend and regretted it the minute the gun was out of my hands. Fantastic shooting gun bang


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Several Pythons, a 70 series Gold Cup, a Diamond Back in .22, H.S. Victor and a sweet Sako in .308. Probably should of held on to one of several pre-ban AR's and oddly enough a Colt SAA .45 XIT Ranch commemorative.

That one hurts, I’m a big HK fan myself

For me, it’s not a huge one but I had a Win Model 70 in 30-06...I’d buy that one back

I had all the faith in the world in that rifle, never missed and deer never took a step

stainless steel Ruger Blackhawk in .357 mag.

Was a state troopers gun before I had it and he had a hammer/trigger kit put on it...it was smooth as butter.


I sold it to a buddy of mines dad and I have thought about asking him to sell it back to me but I am hesitant.


I used the proceeds to start a business.....that never got off the ground.




only gun I ever regretted selling


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I had a S&W 66 with a 3" barrel and rounded grip. I sold it because I thought that I had to have one of those new fangled Glocks. Big mistake.

Two of them.

1. Remington 788 in .243. I had mistakenly lost some faith in the .243 mostly due to campfire talk, and was in need of funds.
2. Thompson/Center Hawken .45 muzzleloader. I just needed more funds.

I sold both to members here. If either of you are done with them, I'd gladly buy them back!! up

Everything I own is for sale for the right price, except the wife and kids. I do have a Browning Superposed that would be hard to buy, but for the right price I wouldn’t regret it. I have some nice dogs too but everything has its price. The only gun I wish I still had was a marlin 30-30 that was stolen out of my truck 20 years ago. I’d like to have that one back.
