Anschutz 1407 target .22. Loved that rifle, it shot better than
I ever could......

 

I usually never post about guns but since it is about a gun that I don't own anymore then it was a S&W .357 magnum - stainless steel. But that was way over 20 years ago. Not exactly sure why I sold it but probably needed the money and didn't want to use the gun any other way.

 

M1 all matching IH
Marlin 444 lever
ouch

 

When my ex-wife and I divorced, she kept:

Preban Colt AR15
H&K SP89
Maadi AK47
Ruger P91
Winchester single shot 410 (a gift from my dad)
Mossberg 500

Not that she wanted the guns, she just wanted to keep them from me, and thus cause me emotional distress.

 

I have seen that sort of thing a bunch of times. Women can be so, so evil. It is a shame that they have butts and boobs and all of that other fun stuff we like so much...

 

I had a .357 S&W 686 that I sold a few years ago. I also had a M1 Garand and a .45 1911 that were original WWII weapons. Needed the cash badly but I did not let them go cheap.

 

Remington .270
Ruger Mark 1 .22

Once sold some type crazy Russian pistol to a guy for $25....he later shot someone with it!

 

numerous bolt actions

several handguns to include a walther PPk , 1 german luger

 

S&W 686 with unfluted cylinder and 6" barrel.

My brother purchased the gun with my money when I was 12 y/o. When I was 18y/o, he was to sign it over to me. On my birthday, went to collect it, he gave me back the money I had spent.

Had a bunch of guns I sold before moving overseas. Remmy 870 wingmaster is one I'd like to still have.

 

A Marlin Levergun before Remington bought them

 

romak sar-1 and then they quit importing them... but you do what you have to do at the time...

 

Hi Standard Supermatic Trophy. Sold it back in th early 80's. Sorry I did.

 

customized 1911-a1, made a good profit off of it at the time.
m1 carbine

 

Savage Model 24 in .22/.410. Traded it for a pickup truck, which I needed more than the gun. But in retrospect...
Also the P38 I bought from the factory in Germany when I was active duty. Not that I'm a big fan of 9mm, but I got it cheap and it's worth a lot more now!

 

I regret selling every gun I've ever sold...except one, a Mossberg Maverick 88, 12 ga., with a pistol grip. The first time I ever shot it, the damn thing broke my thumb...man, that hurt! Of course, it could've been due to the fact that I was shooting 3" magnum loads out of it. I sold it to a co-worker, for what I had into it. I told the guy up front what happened, and why I was selling it. And he still wanted it, so I don't regret that sale...

Some others that I DO regret selling: a Wilson Combat, Remington 870 with a pistol grip, side saddle and ghost ring sights. That was one sweet shotgun! I paid $650 for it...and sold it for $750. But the going price on those now is $1200 bucks! uggh...

A General Motors M1 carbine that kept jamming on me...and finally, a DSA FAL, .308 carbine + 2000 rds. of ammo, and 17 mags. I really needed the cash at the time, but it was like pulling teeth, letting that thing go! That was one sweet rifle...

Suffice it to say, I kept the really good ones. There's no way in hell I'm selling anything else!

The one I miss was my first hand gun,a colt government model 45....not sold, but stolen by some lowlife. I would still like to find that thieving bastard and break every bone in both hands with a ball peen hammer...

 

Gun forums for gun threads! :

 

When the first wife left in '86, I sold all my guns one be one trying to stay afloat financially. There were some good ones - M1 Garand, M1 carbine that had landed on Omaha Beach in '44, Colt Combat Commander, Ruger MkI, many others.
The one's I'd like most to have today are:
Ruger Blackhawk 45 Convertible with 7.5" barrel (they don't make that barrel length anymore)
A Remington made sporter version of the M1917 rifle, man that was a beautiful piece of work. Quality like that would start at over $2,000 today.

 

my first Ruger 10/22 and my first Taurus 92 both great guns that I wish I still had, even though I have 2 10/22s now and a Model 92 also

 

Ok, so what guns have you had over the years that you sold off and now you're kicking yourself for doing so? For me, it's almost everyone of mine; but here are a few I'm crying over...

(1) H&K 91 .308
5
(2) Ingram MAC-11 .9mm (semi)

(3) S&W Model 66 .357 Magnum. Had four (4) over the years. Each time I sold one I bought a new one. Kills me I never bought number #5. My dream gun is one with the 2 1/2 inch barrel.

(4) Norinco MAK-90 w/ the AK wood grip and stock.

(5) Ruger 10/22 with the Butler Creek side folding stock.

You should be taken out behind the wood shed and beaten with a rubber hose.

How dare you dishonor those guns by selling them!

 

Ruger .22-250

 

This story may or may not be true....

When A friend was moving from XXXX to Wisconsin, They had a off brand 9 mm pistol. When they was cleaning out the storage unit and packing to leave they decided to get rid of it. There was a guy there with a utility truck (construction).

they ask the guy, "do you want a 9 mm cheap." of course he said yes. They said $100 cash and it is yours. They guy said let me run to the ATM. 15 minutes he was back with cash and walked off.

I wish my friend had keep that 9 mm.

 

Kimber Custom and a Ruger SP-101 for me.

 

My Custom Colt Series 80 Enhanced Competition Model. I take solace in the Fact that it went to a good Home.

 

The first AR I built. It was nothing special, and I feel I got a good trade for it, but I still wish I had it cause it the first I built.
