This is a twist on the infamous, "if you could only have X number of guns" threads.

Lets say that for some reason or another you had to part with three guns that you currently own with the prevision that you could never own that make and model gun again, what would they be and why those particular guns?

[Mr White]

Mosin M44
Stevens bolt action .22
Norinco SKS (I still get to keep my Yugo, right?)

[Dr. Dickie]

Who cares, I MUST be dead.:neener:

[deadin]

Baikal IZH35M
Stevens M416
Rock Island M1903A2 (This one would hurt to let go:( )

Not using any of them.

[Technosavant]

Ruger 22/45 (shoots well, but I have never loved this one)
Remington 1100 (good shotgun, but there's lots of good shotguns in the world)
Remington 597 (I love this thing, but I could be persuaded to swap it for a Walther G22)

As for my Springfield 1911, K31, MAK-90, and Yugo 59/66, those I keep. :neener:

[JesseL]

AMT Backup 380 SA. I only have it because I don't hate anyone enough to sell it to them.

Winchester 67A. How many bolt action 22s do I need anyway?

Uberti 1858 Remington. I love it dearly, but it's real world usefulness is pretty low.

[Ala Dan]

So tuff, that I cannot possibly make it~! You see, this is a'bout the third
time I've cleared everything out and started over. But, this time is also
different as I have only bought weapons that me or my family desired
too own~!:scrutiny: :D

Well, after further review here are my three choices:

a) Ruger 10/22 Stainless/Syntheic brand new, NEVER fired
b) Smith & Wesson 2" nickel model 10
c) Springfield Armory 5" stainless WW-II G.I. model .45 ACP

[Brian Williams]

Win 1300
Ruger 10/22
Stevens pump shotgun

[Aguila Blanca]

Henry .22LR lever action carbine
Colt Pony .380

Third one's tough. Maybe the Ruger Super Single Six (.22LR) convertible.

Not that I'd really want to sell any of them, mind you, but if I HAD to sell three ... yeah, I think those would be the ones. I might swap a Mosin-Nagant M38 in and keep the Henry.

[Will Learn]

Stevens model 200-.308
Marlin 336- 30-30
Turk Mauser- 8mm

[ctdonath]

Two Mosin/Nagant 91/30s and an SKS.
Haven't fired any of them, so parting is a minimal deal.
(Anyone want 'em? One M/N is arsenal refinished, one is POS, Norinco SKS is still smothered in cosmoline.)

[Legionnaire]

Well, let me think back on the three I most recently parted with. Would that count?

T/C Encore Rifle (.243)
T/C Encore Pistol (.243)
S&W 1066 (10mm)

All were great guns, but they weren't getting used and I wanted something else. In this case, easy come, easy go. Wouldn't bother me to never have these back in the collection.

[71Commander]

Mauser M48
Para P189
Remington 1100

This was tough.

[Marshall]

Stevens .22
Ruger 6" GP100 (I could go buy a 4" and be fine) :p
Ruger SRH .44 Mag. I have a RH .44 Magso it wouldn't hurt too bad.

[MinScout]

1. CZ 452 American 17 HMR. Won't do anything my 22 lr won't do cheaper, at least in my neck of the woods. Plus the trigger stinks.
2. Pre-64 Winchester 94 30-30. Very pretty, but for some reason I can't hit with it. Besides, I already have a Post 64 that I actually like better and a Marlin 336.
3. This pains me, but I guess I could let my Marlin 1895M .450 go if I had to. It kicks a bit much and it's not really necessary for anything around here.

[davewilson]

The ones I'd let go:

1. S&W 469 - 9 mm. Very inaccurate.
2. S&W 422 - 1st .22 pistol.
3. Ruger P-85.

[Harry Paget Flashman]

H&R 999 Sportsman .22lr
Iver Johnson Cadet .38spcl
Stevens single .410

[gbran]

- Ruger 10/22. I hate this gun and have long since quit shooting it.
- Mosin Nagant. I ain't that sentimental toward foreign milsurps. It isn't real accurate either.
- Taurus 941 22wmr revolver. It's OK, but I can do without it.

[kengrubb]

Gluegun, Screwgun and Greasegun
:neener:

[chaim]

This one is pretty easy:

-Ruger KP345. It has been quite unreliable and I'm very disappointed. I'm looking to replace it anyway (actually, I've already put its replacement, a new S&W 1911SC, on layaway).

-Bersa Thunder .380. It is a good gun, but I don't think I've shot it in 2 years, and I don't really need it (I have a couple guns of similar size in more capable calibers, and I have a smaller .32 now). I'm thinking about selling it anyway.

-18.5" Benelli Nova. It wasn't cheap and I've never really warmed to it, I really wish I saved about 1/3 and bought a Mossberg 500 Persuader instead (to replace the one I sold a few years ago when I really needed the cash).

[azredhawk44]

Taurus 94 5" 22lr
Uberti 1851 Colt Navy Clone
Charles Daly 1911

Easy...:neener:

I would replace them with a Ruger Single Six, a Cimarron 1873 Remington 44-40, and a Springfield GI 1911.

[DRMMR02]

I wouldn't :) I only own 3 guns.

[carpediem]

I'd hurry up and buy 3 POS, pot metal, saturday night specials then turn around and part with those so I can keep all the others.

[Huddog]

Charter Arms AR-7, my wife thought she was doing me a favor by buying it for christmas several years ago.

Snake Charmer .410, has a story with it but would let it go.

Ruger Mini-14 bc I wouldn't want to give up any of the others but I don't want to give the mini up either.

I like my guns and don't want to give up any but if I had to, it'd be these three first.

[PirateJoe]

I only have 3 guns :(

[Pat Cannon]

I only have two!

[No_Brakes23]

Winchester tube mag rifle in 22LR. A model 59, I think.
Remington Nylon 77 22LR
Remington Breechloader in 43 Egyptian. A Rem No1 I think.

The 22LRs are not as good or useful or accurate as a 10/22 or Rem 597, and the breechloader was in a near imposible to find caliber.

I wouldn't miss any of 'em.

[10-Ring]

3 guns? Geez - probably - nope...I'm not playing :neener: I'm finally happy w/ all my guns, I'm not giving up any of them!

[GroovedG19]

FN Hi Power .40S&W - Not 100% reliable although very accurate.
Sig Sauer P226 .357sig - Too big for carry and too long DA trigger.

Only 2.The rest I'm not willing to part with.:neener:

[Onmilo]

1. Astra 400
2. Stevens Model 35 .22LR single shot target pistol
3. S&W Model 1917

Not only would I sell them, I will sell them if the price is right.

[OEF_VET]

Man, I've been in the poor house for awhile, so I've already been paring down my collection. As it stands now, there are only 2 rifles, 2 shotguns, and 5 handguns in my private collection.

So, I guess it would have to be:
1) Ruger MkII (anyone looking for a MkII with a threaded barrel & no front sight?)
2) Para-Ordnance Colonel (if someone's looking for one, I'd be willing to talk)
3) German Commission Model of 1888 (anyone want an antique in nice condition?)

[Hemicuda]

I have 14 or so... (might be 15 or 16) Remington Nylon rifles... 66's, 77's, 10-C's, 11's, 12's, and even a 76 or 2...

I have 3 Mod 66 Apache Black's and 4 Mohawk Brown's (not including "gallery gun" models)

I'd sell 3 of the duplicates, and be none the poorer, collectionwise for doing it...

(Edited 'cause I can't frikkin' type!)

[rhubarb]

If you had to part with 3 guns . . .

. . . I'd be disarmed.:uhoh:

[Steve 48]

That's a tough question, but if I had to part with 3, it would be my Winchester 1300, my TC Contender and my Taurus 454. Those are the ones I use the least but still like all of them. Steve 48

[Tim L]

Hmm, part with 3 that I couldn't own again lets see. Colt Pony, Pocket nine and SF-VI. Why? None of them are made any more and all were made for a very short period of time, thus parts are or will be hard to find.

Tim

[MechAg94]

Rossi .22 single shot break open w/20 gauge barrel. Decent gun, just have other guns I like better.

Jennings compact .380 - No beavertail and cut by hand. It was reliable though.

Firestorm .380 - Okay gun. Reliable. Accurate enough. Couldn't find spare mags and just flat out didn't need it.

I would list a Bersa Thunder 380 but if I had to keep one .380, I'd keep that one. As you can tell, I had done some experimenting with .380 auto pistols for carry. I gave it up as my Kahr P9 is the same size and more powerful. If anyone wants a .380 or two, I will make you a good deal. :)

[Vitamin G]

H&K p7 (Its a nice gun, but its not as nice as i was led to believe. I'm hanging onto it for investment purposes)
Savage 30-06 (I could just pick one up in .308 or a rem700 in 30-06)
And a Glock. (I could easily just get an XD which is more comfortable, though the 10mm would be an issue. I think EAA would suffice nicely)

[Essex County]

Any of several cheap shotguns and a 1959 vintage J.C. Higgens .22 that no one has a clip for...........Essex

[Mornard]

Funny Post - thanks for the idea... I 've seen two models on here that are on my must buy list - the H&R 999 and the Taurus 94 .22.

At any rate, and in complete opposition to the spoken motto of my friend's grandmother (Never Sell a Gun!) here's my three.

Remington 870 Wingmaster 16 ga, 28" Modified, plain bbl. - I have 6 or 7 16 ga., (can't remember rightly, offhand) and the chores of a 16 ga pump will be well handled by my Winchester Model 12 16 ga.

Saiga 7.62x39 sporter, with red dot sight. Not a great deer hunting gun, (have 15+others) not a great assault weapon, (my FNFAL) not a great survival tool, (though that's probably it's best application)

Colt 2" Detective Special, .38 Special, shrouded bbl. Not a bad gun but I have a couple carry guns that I like better. (and I can't really shoot it all that well.... :o
there may be some who can shoot this damn thing

[pharmer]

Glock 22, only .40 I own. Marlin 60, have 2 other .22 rifles I like better. H&r Topper 12 ga, single shot I paid $45 for new. Joe

[mpmarty]

None of my present collection would be expendable but my three disposals in the last couple of months have been:

1. Glock 21
2. Glock 23
3. Glock 30 (still on consignment at local gunshop)

As you may gather I'm not a Glock fan. CZ, Witness, Taurus are my main brands of pistols now.

[sixgunner455]

SKS. I've been trying to sell it anyway! :)
Ruger 10/22. It's a great rifle, but if I can never own another one, this one is easy to functionally replace with another great, inexpensive .22, like a Marlin.
makarov 9mm. It's mostly my wife's anyway, I'll sell it to her, and then I can shoot it whenever I decide to. Really, I could do without it for myself. If we had to sell it, we could find her a different pistol to replace it with.
