Guns I Wish I would have never sold

[Raythemanroe]

I regretted getting rid of my Winchester 1300 but tracked it down and got it back so all is well

JoeC from the pics ive seen of your work that was money well spent. Also you can change your title from "student of the 1911" to "Master"...

Thank you for the kind words sir. One thing I've learned is never assume oneself to be a "Master" as there are always new things to learn. The day you stop learning about your craft is the day you should hang it up and go do something else as there is always something to learn if you are willing to look for it and accept that it is there.

So "Master"? I don't know. I like to think of myself as a guy that just loves what he does for a living each day and continues to learn more about the aspects of it so he can continue to improve his craft.

The list goes on and on but a few are as follows:

1. 2 yes 2 NIB Remington Sendero SF II's chambered in 25-06.
2. NIB Remington Sendero SF II chambered in 264.
3. NIB Remington VSSF II chambered in 220 swift.
4. NIB Remington VSSF II chambered in 22-250.
5. I've had and sold about 7 of the original Remington Sendero SF's chambered in 25-06. Immediately regret selling each one right after I did it. I found a NIB about a year ago and it is now my go to rifle with 18 rounds down the barrel .
6. Sako 85 Finnlight chambered in 270.
7. Kimber Super Carry 45.
8. Last and certainly not least. First rifle I ever bought with my own hard earned money. Remington 700 adl chambered in .243. Cheapest rifle I ever bought and probably one of the best shooting i've ever had. Gave $275 for it and it shot excellent. Right at 1/2 moa all day long at 100 yards with 100 grain core-lokts. They do not build them like they use to nor do they load factory ammo like they were 10 years ago.
I could go on until tomorrow but that is a few of my biggest regrets.

Now that last line is downright funny!!! ;D

 

[killahog]

That's just great now I have to research the value on pennies and try to remember more dates

 

[Infrequent Shooter]

I have too many too mention, but I sorely regret passing on dozens of ultra clean Browning Hi Powers made in Belgium. Sellers couldn't give them away. the 1911s were getting all the attention. They were plentiful and darn right reasonably priced. At gun shows you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting a HP!

 

[M60A3TTS]

Gotta say at this point all of them, 8 FALs, an early WW 2 M1, a Javellina in 10 mm, a couple of Tuarus PT99s,and the real killer a Para Ordnance 45. Why does no one make a 45 GI pattern in DA/SA anymore???

 

[billshehane]

5 inch Mod. 27 S&W. Thought I wanted a 6 inch-- big mistake Sally. Sold it to my preacher with first right to buy it back when he wanted to sell. But that was 50 years ago and I still not been able to get it back.

 

[ebb]

Shoulda coulda woulda, Don't ever sell any guns and you will never regret selling one!!! DUH

 

[brokeasajoke]

New England 20ga single shot. I purchased as a boy for $59. Could have he it to one of my kids as their first gun. Still got my Marlin 336 from when I was in 5th grade.

 

[Burnt Powder]

Sell, what is that? I’ve traded a few, dang few! A 9422 and Rossi 92 357/38 Special. I’ve got a beautiful Beretta 20 ga 391 Gold Sporting with beautiful wood and a 700 BDL VT 7-08 instead. Wish I had the others back but I can’t complain about what I got in return.

Wow, those FALs, bring a tear to my eye! my biggest regret ever was not buying a Sig STG about 25 years ago. It was completely beautiful. but at the time no one had or knew much about the 7.5 Swiss. Or at least the yokels I talked to told me the ammo was basically hard to get, or even worse. the thing reminded me of a WWII airplane engine, it was so well made. and while we are talking about FALs, I passed on a Steyr FNFAL, much to my permanent regret! You sure have some good taste.

[Jeff Porter]

I had a “matching “ 4” 686 and 4” 617. Perfect tools for teaching new shooters and working up from .22 to .38 Spl to .357 Magnum. Traded them on a couple of 22-250 Savage 12 FV. Kick myself every time I think about it.
