What Gun(s) do you regret getting rid of the most?

Several years ago, I was in a terrible financial crisis, and ended up selling many of my guns. Some of which I had inherited form my dad when he passed away a few years prior. Of the guns I sold, the ones I regret most we mine and my dad's M1 Garands, which we both purchased through the DCM program (at different times). However, each of those were by far the most valuable guns I sold, and each one brought me almost as much as all the other guns combined.

On a positive note, I was able to keep the two guns of my dads that have the highest sentimental value for me - his Sako .338 Wim Mag (his favorite big game hunting rifle) and a Winchester 1897 12 gauge.

 

I regret selling my $100 tula matching #s russian SKS for $200ish back in the day - it hurts when i see how much they are going for today in "fine" condition

 

Bought and sold plenty over the years. Pretty happy with what's currently in the safe. No regrets at selling anything.

 

Mah Mod 66 brotha! My first gun was also a Mod 66 Super Single 20ga. I got it as a birthday present in 1980. I kept mine. Below is not mine, just a stock photo

 

I regret selling my Beretta M9A1.

 

The list of regrets
Norinco AK47 ,cheap but fun to shoot
Win Mod70 Super Grade 300 win mag
Ruger SR1911
Browning Hi Power

 

Battlefield pickup K-98 with crisp Waffenamts - not a wehraboo but I appreciate the historical significance. Apparently I didn't appreciate enough, as I sold when I was in a tight spot.

 

Sig P220 .45 all stainless

 

When I was getting engaged I sold off a 1939 Winchester 1897 Riot gun, a S&W 646, and a S&W 681 to buy a ring and well... she's gone and I threw the ring away.

 

I have a sporterized war trophy 1944 98k for the same reason. Vile ideology, but a remnant of history. That and my '51 Win 1894 are the last two I'd ever part with due to the history/family heirloom value.

Also 198gr softpoint 8mm knocks VA whitetails down like a sledge hammer.

 

Only gun I've ever sold was an Intratec Tec-9. It was a total piece of garbage, and I made decent money on it.

They are still garbage, but worth exponentially more money now. For whatever reason.

 

Had a S&W MP-15 .22 that i got rid of years ago. Miss that little thing, was a fun plinking gun and cheap to shoot 100's of rounds through

 

Never sold a gun. If you’d like to buy one from me, my wife would be glad to help you I’m sure.

 

Sold a nice Mosin PU sniper a few years back, took me a while to find another in as nice shape - had to pay more than I sold the other one for

 

I want to to buried with mine. Mfg: 1988, West Germany.

 

I haven't parted with anything I regret getting rid of, but I can definitely think of a few PPTs I wish I'd jumped on when I had the chance.

I still regret not buying a Sig 552 from a guy a few years back. Also regret not buying a Wilson-ized Beretta 92G.

 

Marlin Golden 39A. Lever Action, 22 LR. Not a fancy rifle, but it was dead nuts at 75 yds on rabbits, gophers, chipmunks, rats (dump hunts).

Sold to fund text books for college...... College disseminated many possessions. Car, motorcycle, furniture, rifle, then the student loans......OMG.

 

Same date/place as my first P220.

 

Browning Auto 5 sweet 16. Was Belgian made and in great condition. Stupid things we do when we’re young.
