If there is one or more firearm you own that under no circumstances would you ever sell her/them, what is it?

Myself that would be my M14, my 870, my Para LDA LTC and my Grandfathers bring back Hi-Power. I just love that M14. It is so much fun to shoot and is just a mean gun. Everything feels solid from inserting the mag to the hunk of metal for a but plate.

Everyone needs a shot gun.

The Para is just a very accurate, fun handgun. It is 4.25" which for me balances better then a 5". The trigger is pretty nice in its stock forum and it just looks pretty cool.

There is no explanation needed for the hi-power. It is a piece of family and world history so there is no way I could part with it.

I have an Italian 92FS stainless that was my first handgun I bought at 21. Hand it down one day.

Plus some rifles that were my grandpas or dads.

I have only sold 4 or 5 guns ever. (It's probably a few more, but I forget)
I regretted selling most of them, except for a couple that were just NOT fun to shoot...

The two I don't regret selling are a Browning Baby 25 with original box and all papers which did not fit my hand and a Ruger 44 carbine (the old semi auto) that beat the hell out of my shoulder.

I miss the $400 Colt series 70 and the XP100 the most.

Same here. I may be upgrading to a larger safe in a couple of months.

Ive got a HK-94 "sniper version" marked "T&E ONLY" that I got back in 1989. Havent shot it, havent fondled/molested it, I break it out from time to time and inspect it for rust, thats it. Theres a few others, but this one is my "baby". Ive also got a HK sp89 NIB that I wont sell or shoot as well. But the box and styrofoam is pretty beat up for it.

All of them.

I was taught +25 years ago to never sell a gun.

Never forsee a reason to violate that.

Everything I have so far (all 3 of them) I'd keep.

Only guns I've sold were 2 Swiss K31s which I bought at the same time as the K31 I wanted. Financed my purchase :D.

Mine are all for sale. But if it is something I really like and might not be able to get again it's gonna cost you big.

I couldn't agree more...

I sold a Postal Meter M1 Carbine and lots of old access, for $500.00, because I was hurting for money. All I can think about now is how fun the gun was...

MANY of my guns and and alot of the accessories came from my father, for that reason alone I wouldn't sell any of those. A few that I purchased I'm not too attached to and wouldn't mind selling them (Mosins, etc.)

For the most part, I'm lucky that my dad had the interest in the guns that he did and I was really fortunate to be able to grow up around firearms. I put shooting on the back burner for a while after my dad died but I'm glad to be back in it... it brings back, and creates great memories.

I should have added to my post. That I never sell a gun unless it's to buy a better one. If you do you end up with no gun and no money. I do buy guns I have no use for other than selling.

I miss my Luger.

I used to say I wouldn't sell any of my guns.

Now I have a couple of expensive project guns that I really want to finish and I have been tempted to sell other previously off-limits guns like my P7M10 unfired in the box with all acessories. I am at a point where I may need to thin the herd a bit.

Very difficult decisions

For the most part, I'm lucky that my dad had the interest in the guns that he did and I was really fortunate to be able to grow up around firearms.

I purchased my first pistol just about 2 years ago. It was a 1911 like the one my dad has. I brought it over to show him, it felt like we finally found something we both enjoy. In the last two years, I've purchased 9 or 10 firearms, and he's purchased probably 15. We don't even know whos is whos anymore. They go to whoever has the most room in the safe at the time.

I'm so attached to all of them, mostly because this is a father/son thing. But sometimes I'll buy a gun just because he likes it, and he has done the same for me as well. He took one of my sequential serial numbered Stag ARs for safekeeping, and I'm still trying to get my hands on his Kimber.

I couldn't ever sell any of them. And I can't imagine what I'll do when hes gone.
