    Is there a gun you regret selling?

    Of all the guns I've had, remember selling/trading two guns I wished I hadn't!
    One was a (new) Ruger Blackhawk in .357, the other was a Marlin 336 in 30-30 (shot my 1st whitetail with it - was a trade-in for model 70 .270)
    "The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing." Edmund Burke speech of 23 April 1770, "Thoughts on the Cause of the Present Discontents," delivered to the House of Commons.

    I let go of an Enfield #5 Jungle Carbine that was in really nice condition since I couldn't find surplus ammo and I didn't reload for that caliber at the time. The redeeming aspect of the sale is that it went to a good friend who greatly appreciates it.

    It took me over 20 years, but I eventually found another that was in even nicer condition. Just a couple months later, I found yet another #5 in excellent condition. I own both and since I reload the .303 getting ammo is easy.

        Marlin 336 in .30-30. It was my first gun and I loved everything about it - except the price of ammo. I couldn't really afford to buy a new gun without selling one to fund it back then.. so I sold it to a Calgunner. Years later, I messaged him asking him to buy it back. He said he still had it and still loved it, but would keep me in mind should he ever end up selling it. Still waiting for that day to come

                None, they always get replaced with something better or more interesting.

                          Nope. I sell guns to buy better guns.

                            Gave a friend FR8 as a present regret the hell out of it
                            I'm forever blowing bubbles,
                            Pretty bubbles in the air,
                            They fly so high,
                            Nearly reach the sky
