Whats the gun you sold?

What's the gun you sold that you regret the most?


I sold a Colt 1911a1 goverment model in nickle it was the prettiest 45acp i have ever seen. I purchased it new and parted with it a few years later. I traded it in for one of the first Ruger Redhawks in stainless in 44mag when they first came out. Back then the S&W model 29's were hard to get too when the dirty harry movie came out. A few years later Ruger manufactured one thank god they did.

S&W Model 19 - first gun I ever bought. Sold it to my best friend, and he won't sell it back. I don't blame him; she's a sweet shooter.

I sometimes regret selling my Yugo 59/66 SKS to JayG because it came with a log book numbered to that rifle.
Man I'm getting anal about having milsurp accessories.

I think i have one thats a missmatched matching log book too. Is that rare?? just kidding

1958 Columbian Madsen.
The last military bolt action rifle produced.

Colt 1911 Mk IV Series 70 that I bought new, couldn't shoot it well, stashed it in the safe for + years then sold it to DD. About 2 years later I learned that my problem was the long trigger and a short trigger dropped in for <$20 would have made it a very shootable gun!

I know it's in good hands! I've since replaced it with a S&W 1911 (and added a short trigger).

This wasn't sold. It was given up in a divorce. A 1945 Remington-Rand 1911A1 in good shape to my ex-wife. She said she wanted it. Turns out she gave it to her BIL (a former Marine). When he died the family sold it. But did not offer it to me.

The RRA CAR-15. But it went to a good home.

Milsurps,

I've got no particular attachment to that SKS; if you want to swap for one of equal (or better) quality I'd be happy to do so.

As for the one I sold that I regret, well, I haven't sold any mil-surps yet. The one gun I do regret selling (trading, actually) was the Sig 229. But it was traded for a sweeeet Colt...

That would be my UZI model A they are worth big bucks now. (and it was a hoot to shoot.)

I'm still collecting and just have 1 Yugo thats completely mint. I was thinking of getting a few with consecutive serial numbers so ya never know.
For now just treat her like a lady. Keep her clean and oiled both metal and wood (she likes having her butt rubbed with Formby's Lemon Oil for wood) and keep her diary (log book) close by.
Who knows, maybe one day you'll wanna get rid of it and I'll have the cash.
