Have you ever sold a gun and then later bought/traded it back?

[AirPower]

I had sold this .22 rifle a year ago and after it passed through several hands, now I bought it back from a different person. I've been missing it since selling it and now I swear I'll never sell it again.

 

[Mannlicher]

boy I thought everyone bought and sold the same gun at least once or twice in their careers. I thought I invented "sold cheap, bought dear" the first time I bought back one that I had sold earlier.

 

[Pumpkinheaver]

I have sold and rebought the same .22 pistol several times.

funny u say that i just talked to a buddy tonight i sold a usp40compact to last year . i might buy it back from him, he wants me to atleast!

When I was stationed in Germany in 95 I sold a Walther PP .32 and a S&W m-19 to an airforce buddy. We are now both retired and living in Alabama. Last year I talked him into letting me buy them back. He had both guns for ten years and never shot them.

 

[SniperStraz]

I just recently bought a 9mm...

...and the guy that sold it to me contacted me saying he wants it back. I feel a little obligated.

 

[blood_donor]

Yes. I sold an AR-15 to a guy at work. Two years later, missing it (I had built it myself from a kit), I asked him if he would sell it back to me.

I don't think he shot it at all.

 

[mwpslp]

I have done that as well. Too many toys and not enough money to go around for all of them.

 

[JackOfAllTradesMasterAtNone]

Biggest mistake I made in the last ten years.

I sold a pistol I really liked to thin the herd when I enherited some others. I'd buy it back in a heartbeat! He's a good friend that takes care of his guns. So far he hasn't given me the opportunity. So, to answer your question. NO. But I would.

Actually, this is the only gun "buy-back" program that remotely makes sense to me.

 

[McCall911]

Yes. A Colt Army Special in .41 Long Colt. It was my favorite revolver ever, despite the obsolete ammo.
And...I'd buy it back once more.

 

[U.S.SFC_RET]

I sold a M19O3A3 and bought it back.

 

[Quickdraw Limpsalot]

I received my uncle's H&R Topper model (.22 Hornet and 20 guage single shot barrels) via Santa one year as a kid... my first gun, actually. Traded it to my older brother a few years later, then ended up swapping (or paying?) him for it a couple of years after that.

I'll never let it go again!

 

[armoredman]

Yep - 1920 Mosin Nagant 91/30 that I didn't have a chance to fire before I sold it. Quite accurate, and grand fun to shoot/reload for, don't plan on letting this one run again!

 

[Essex County]

Yes, twice. A Stevens 325 30-30 and a Mk4 Enfield....Essex

 

[gyp_c2]

yup

...when I really like one, I always try for a first right of refusal on the dang thing...

...JIC...

 

[Waywatcher]

Yes, once.

For my GP100. I bought it new a couple years ago, sold it to a friend, and bought it back two weeks ago right before he was going to trade it in!

 

[mortdooley]

I had a blue steel Vaquaro that I sold to a friend and a firestar that I traded to him for a S&W 640. After a few years of not being impressed with the smith I traded it back to him for the Vaquaro.

 

[Harry Paget Flashman]

Just an S&W 36-1.
