Russian Tiger SVD Dragunov, wasn't super accurate, but worth much more than I sold it for!

No pics but Walther PP in 32. Beautiful gun, bought cheap, didn’t work well and I was young so I didn’t even try something simple like a new mag. Ignorance of youth.

I've never sold one that I regretted letting go. There have been a couple that I regretted not buying...Winchester 94 for $200, P220 for $400, 10mm 3rd gen Smith (don't remember the exact model) for $350. I was young and broke back then, and didn't really have the money...but still wish I'd just found a way to do it. I've since learned to jump on those opportunities when they present themselves...much to my wife's chagrin Big Grin.

I don’t have a pic, but I foolishly sold my M1 Garand to a co-worker a decade ago. I regret it still now. Uggghhh

Late 60's "T" series Browning 9mm High Power.

Nothing fancy about the gun itself. Yeah, I know the "T" series are more sought after, and slightly more valuable.

It was more the "where" and "how" I got the gun, and my sentimental value towards it. It was also worked on by a dude that really knew what he was doing.

Damn, I regret selling it.
Thought I'd be able to buy it back from my friend that I sold it to. I told him that if he was going to sell it, to call me first...
Nope, he gave it to his idiot cousin. That moron probably traded it for a case of beer. Roll Eyes

I sold my 1943 Winchester M1 to pay the rent one month in college. That one still stings. I have some really crappy pictures of it somewhere....

Oh! Found one!


Found more!
This Smith 10-5 was in really rough shape externally, but someone had worked the trigger over and it was absolute butter. I should have kept that one and had it refinished.

I forgot I owned this Enfield. Never shot it. This would have made a great jungle carbine.

My Marlin 1894C in .44mag. I really liked this rifle, but as a poor college student, buying .44 mag wasn't really in the budget at the time. I want another one in stainless and .357 someday soon.

I'll never forgive myself for letting go of my P220 ST NITRON (yes, one of those) that I bought from Flork back in the day. Aside from being incredibly rare, it had one of the nicest triggers you could imagine.

I sold my P245 to a good friend. I've regretted it ever since.

Like a young, impulsive moron from manny years ago...I sold/traded my Sig 220 German 9mm to my friend who was my contractor on my very
1st house. He laid all the hardwood floors. All things considered, I want the gun back

many that come to mind right away were before I took pictures of them. Lets see.. ones with easy to post pics:

My first SIG, first 220. I sold it and bought a 220ST. Then another older 220. Sold both. There are times when I think I should have just kept the first one.




My .40-60 rolling block. I didn't shoot it. Was shooting lots of iron sighted BPCR at the time, but rarely shot this one. To my mind (at the time) it was a lot of money just sitting 364 days a year, so I sold it. Now my eyes are gone and I would love to have that scope/rifle.




HK It was a rare occasional novelty gun, and I had more invested in magazines than the gun itself. Again used rational thinking, sold it and used the money to buy a Limited-10 gun for USPSA. Then a few years later, that gun started to sit and I wished I still had the squeeze cocker.




Grease Gun mag lower 45acp. Same deal, a lot of money siting all year. Sold it to buy a sporting clays gun, which I never did. Paid bills instead. A couple weeks after I sold it, they passed law ensuring I would never own another.



T/C Scout, mentioned this somewhere the other day. I think I got $150 for it and can't for the life of me recall why I would have sold it. Stupid.



The Benelli on the left. Did I need a 3rd M2 and a duplicate one? No. So I sold it, actually lost money on it and have spent no small amount of time trying to replace it (in the same price range, which aint likely to happen)

I am slow to let go of almost any gun, and I don't sell too many. I have absolutely no regrets about any of the ones I've sold.

Yup, I have let go of many.

I've sold a lot of pistols over the years never regretted selling any of them. The money went towards another pistol or for gun parts towards a semi custom build. The vast majority of them were guns I acquired in trades or bought used.
