Guns you most regret selling/trading

[TonyNorCal]

We've all done it...sold/traded/or somehow parted with a firearm and now we regret it.

What are yours?

Mine ~ Colt King Cobra (my very first gun ) and a Romanian SKS.

[Unknownassailant]

I've never sold any of my guns. I've regretted not buying guns (listed receivers) but not selling any of em.

I went through a divorce about 6-7 years ago and had to get rid of some of the guns for financial reasons.

Among other items, I sold off a Colt AR-15, a Sig-Sauer P229, a Springfield 1911, and a Benelli M1. I'm so kicking myself right now.

I've only sold one gun, a HK SP89, made out like a bandit though............ ............but regretted it ever since, maybe that's why I've never sold any more, just buy buy buy............

HK91A3 Didn't wanna deal w/reg issues and AW restrictions - and given I bought it for $475 in 1986 & sold it for $1950 in 1995 the money looked good. Didn't think CA would continue its AW nonsense - boy was I wrong!

Sig P226, 9mm.
SigPro, 357Sig
Beretta 92 Compact (shorter slide, 13rd mags).

Bought & sold these in binges of gun trading to help fund other guns.

I hear you.

I am not only kicking myself for selling my HK91A3, I shoulda bought 10 HK SP89s. I could've gotten them for $795 before AW craziness set in.

[Stanze]

Non-SB23 friendly Mini-14 Ranch Model
Glock 19
Hungarian SA-85
Russian SKS
Intratec DC-9
Pre-Ban Bushmaster lower receivers

*sigh*

I needed the money and thought I'd be able to replace most of them before CA was fully occupied.

Mossberg 500 persuader. Got it for $100 in unfired condition, traded it for a springer 1911.

After I traded, found that I'd never get one in that condition for that price ever again...doh!

[Unknownassailant]

Colt SP-1

Are those Sp-1's worth any money nowadays if its in good condition in an AW friendly state?

[NRAhighpowershooter]

Back in '85 I had a REAL FN HB. Not one of those SA Inc Isreali jobs. I traded it off for my HK-91 and my HK94 in '87.. Which I then sold the 94 in '88 I miss the FN the most.....

[Pulsar]

Haven't sold any guns (yet), but I do have a purchase regret or two. One is a sporterized Springfield 03'A3. It has a horrible stock on it, even after putting a 1 1/2" recoild pad on the gun it still bruises me after 3 shots. Shoot's well enough I guess, but it's not fun to shoot.

[kalibear]

I have one I regret not buying - J. Jardine Valtro 1911 a couple years ago when they were going for around $1250..... and I had it in my hands at the gunshop

[gloxter]

Regret selling...

my Robinson Armament M96 carbine. The good news is that I sold it to a fellow CalGuns member. The fundage is helping me fund my BMG project (Viper, baby!) Oh, yeah!
