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'.
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

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.

Rem 788 243. Wife (now long time ex) pawned it when I was overseas. Just missed the deadline to get it back. ! 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

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 wish I had never traded or sold a single one of mine over the years but I guess the one I regret the most was a S&W model 66-2 that I picked up late on a Sunday afternoon a long time ago at Market hall from a couple ole boys from Arkansas that I guess needed some cash bad for the trip home. : 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!!

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.
