What have you sold and regret ever selling? Years ago In a moment of weakness(need) I sold a Ruger SBH 10 1/2" I built for my dad. Nothing special just a blue drill and tap job with a cheap scope. He had a stint put in his neck and was scarred to shoot a rifle anymore. He was never able to used it. He passed away 13yrs ago. I miss him and the Ruger. Any one ever see one in eastern NC for sale let me know.

I received a S&W 38 spl M&P as a graduation (high school) from an uncle. While in college, I sold it & bought a 22 revolver. I regret that decision.

I sold a ruger single six convertible 22/22mag with 9 1/2" barrel that I squirrel hunted with for about 12 yrs and killed no telling how many squirrels. I've regreted it every since. I've also sold others I regreted, just not as bad as that one. Since that happened, I've vowed to never sell another handgun.....well, it depends... If it a shooter, I'll never sell it.

Like Kral, I sold a Single Six with a 22mag cylinder that was hell on wheels with CCI 40gr jhp...

There have been many regrets.
The two I regret the most are;
Dan Wesson model 44 DA with 6" barrel(Just to HAVE a Dan Wesson today!)
Winchester Model 94 AE Big Bore in .307 Win.(sure don't make those anymore)

Great Post!!!!!

There are too many to count and mostly TC’s. But no crying over spilt milk… I have replaced all my TC barrels with customs to “make up” for it. One that I REALY regret getting rid of was a S&W 357 trooper. Just miss it.

S&W 617masterpiece ss 8 3/8 bl full underlug.Looked like a 629 classic but in 22.......man I could kick myself a whole lota times.

7-08 HS Precision XP-100
Sold it 16 years ago to buy my wife engagement ring.

Sold the gun for $900 w/ a Burris scope

Sold my truck for $2850

I was still $250 short but he floated me that for 6 months until I got out of college.

Still married to the old girl so maybe it is not so bad.

Do miss the gun

The truck had 2 dents and needed a water pump. No big deal

Smith and Wesson 629 classic I miss that gun so much. I also sold a ruger vaquero .45 colt but I just got it back!

a ruger mkII competiton target "slabside" traded away is the worst. there are a few other things came n went, but what replaced them negates the remorse.

Colt Trooper (my 1st high-end gun), the blueing was so rich and deep is was like looking into infinity and the action was smooth as silk.

A real made in Germany Walther PPK with 2 spare factory mags.

Sold a 2 Contender frame and 4 barrels when I gave up shooting silhouettes when I went to college.

Ruger Mark IV with bull barrel.

There is at least 4-6 more, but these still tug at my heart strings the most.
I lost $40,000 in guns and ammo in a house fire in 2006 while my son and I were on a deer hunt, so, I'm still in the the re-build mode.

I haven't yet sold/traded a gun and not sure if I ever could. Every gun I own is special to me in one way or another, especially the guns that were purchased for me by my father. I wouldn't sell or trade those guns for anything.

I have not sold any handguns, not even the junk little Jennings 22 that I use to prop open the safe door. LOL<LOL I'm quite frugal when I buy and what I buy is what I want so it isn't going to be sold.

Now with that being said my frugalness has made me miss out on a few guns I wish I had bought and didn't over $25~50.00 difference.

I passed on a DW pistol pack 4 or 5 years ago for $400.00, figured I could get it for $350.00. Now they go for about double that. I also let a mint 41 Redhawk 7 1/2" stainless gun slide for $435.00, thought I might get it for $400.00. In retrospect that $85.00 I was frugal with has come back to haunt me. LOL<LOL

Tigger, I know where there is a DW 357 Pistol pack that can be had for ~$525. gun and 3 add'l barrels I think--may 4 but not sure.

regret trading my dan wesson 357 should have gotten more for it or kept the gun and payed cash for what i got in trade

4" Model 57 S&W

dan wesson 44
a mil issue 1917 s&w 45 acp. that had the best trigger of any revolver ive ever fired, custom or factory. 3 notches on the grip makes one wonder.

the model 70 carbine in 270 i had gotten from a really close friend.(traded it on a 300 ultra mag when they came out,a couple years later my friend passed away from a brain tumor.)

5.5" stainless redhawk that was magnaported.
It was a nice one...wonder where its at now?

1965 Falcon 2dr, hardtop post w/ 63K miles. Bummin' about that sale...I gave it away.

Ruger 77/22, Ruger SRH 5 1/2 magna ported, T/C contender old frame .223 w/ Burris scope(my 1st gun ever), Sringfield 45acp, Ruger SBH 7 1/2(my second gun ever) I sold others but those I regret.

I feel your pain on that Dan Wesson Blue Cow!

My first TC contender that I ever owned. It came with a custom .223 barrel marked with "clark" in the barrel lug. Not knowing what I had and it being the first pistol that I had shot; I thought all pistols would shoot any type of ammo that you run through it into one hole at 150 yards. I ended up selling the .223 and getting a 6.5JDJ and ultimately ended up selling the entire contender set-up and getting an encore. I have yet to shoot another pistol in any caliber that shot as incredibly well as that .223 "clark".

Where do I start.

Thompson Center Contender (Original) 357 Herret 14 in.
Ruger single six 6 1/2"
Winchester model 70 30-06 post 65
Remington model 788 7mm-08 18 1/2" barrel
Ruger Model 77 6mm Remington
Mossberg .410 pump vented rib
Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 Mag w/ TC scope

There are more. I kick myself a lot. Never again. Don't sell anything anymore. Learned my lesson.

1) Boxed Auto Mag with 357 and 44 barrels

2) Super Blackhawk with ser.#41 in wood box

3) Late producton Ruger Hawkeye

Dang, James! You need to be hung from the yardarm!

like tigger, i don't sell firearms, I'll eat dogfood for a week to free up cash if its necessary, but there are several that I passed on for a couple a measly bucks that I wish I had grabbed.

Lots of regrets, but three come to mind.
#1 S&W 686 Mountain gun
#2 Freedom Arms .454. Sold to an internet friend, and fortunately he sold it back to me for what I sold it to him for.
#3 the four I just sold, 2 being customs, 1 Bowen, and one with Roy Fishpaw custom grips. BUT, I sold them to pay for a 5 day Mountain Lion hunt in Arizona with hounds on horseback. Being a big rider and past hound hunter, this is my dream hunt.

One handgun that I sold and really miss is a 44Mag Ruger Redhawk. It just plain shot great....with open sights no less. Never scoped it.

Freedom Arms 555 in 50 AE

AMT 45ACP HARDBALLER-LONGSLIDE,my uncle,who has sinced past away did an action and trigger job on it.It was smooth and accurate.He was an armorer with the 82nd Airborne in WWII.I miss Him & that gun!

My 44 sbhh to my son,He takes a liking to my guns and I end up sellin them to him for 1/2 of what I paid for them,Id have a real arsenal if I wasnt so big hearted but no more.

Still miss my XP- and maybe the Colt Delta Elite--Still would like to have that one back

I miss ya brother. Funny what pops up when someone digs up an old thread. A few tears are hitting the keyboard as I type. Hope the family is well. God bless.

I would have found $85 somewhere...

Back in 95 I sold a Colt Anaconda with a 8" barrel. I paid $325 for it used, if memory serves me right. Always regretted that one but I may be fixing that regret soon with a trade.

tc contender 30/30 222 and 17 . encore 30/06 and 22/250. 44 ruger redhawk. sw 629 44. the ones i dont regret a 44 turus that shot poor and had poor trigger. and have all the rest and i am going to try to hang on to all of them .....

1. S&W M57 .41 Magnum 4" blue.
2. Star PD .45 a.c.p.
3. Ruger Blackhawk .357 6.5"
4. Ruger SBH .44 magnum 7.5"
5. Colt MKIV series 70 .45 a.c.p. blue.
6. S&W M14 .38 5" blue.
7. S&W M36 .38 2"

Too many, but I too sold a model 57 S&W like new in the presentation case, Remington 700 Classic in 375 H&H. I sold those when I went through my divorce in 98. Since then when I got hurt and the future was real uncertain I sold a bunch of guns I didn't shoot including a model 629 Classic 8 3/8" , at least a dozen Blackhawks including a couple supers, two model 700 LSS's including a 375RUM and a 300RUM (it found a good home though with Dan B.), Ruger #1 in 458 LOTT, S&W 39 Nickel like new in box with all the paperwork, 3 Ruger 77's on in 257 Roberts and two in 243 ( they were going to be my sons guns until they pissed me off), Half a dozen Contenders (G2 and original models) and easily two dozen barrels, model 37 S&W Airweight 38spcl (my wifes gun but didn't like it) Ruger P90 45ACP, S&W 686 357 6", my two X Frames I only regret as they were cool additions to my collection but for the size I'd rather get serious and carry an Encore if I'm going to pack that much weight. I know there are alot more but I can't remember. There is one more that comes to mind and it was the wierdest but it was the first centerfire rifle I ever bought or owned and I bought it myself, it was 7.69 Argentine Mauser that had been sporterized.

Every one of them except that stoooooopid high wall. Mule kicking no shooting piece of junk.

My no.1 creedmoore rolling block is my most regretted, followed by the Martini MKIII.

Ruger SBH in .41 mag serial numbered 003. I sold it to a hunting buddy for money to put towards a 7mm-08 lone eagle. He still drags the SBH out to flaunt it in deer camp. No matter how many deer i put on the ground with the 7mm-08 i can't seem to get the .41 back in my safe.
