This year? Mossberg 500, Mauser K98, Baikal SxS, Ruger Mk3, NAA mini.
Only ones I ever regret selling? My late Grandfathers Blackhawk and his M1917. I buy and sell and trade impulsively. Always have. But those two, I'll never be able to replace.
 
Sold a 7mm RM BAR eleven years ago that never lived up to my expectations. I had it for 15 years. I haven't sold anything since then but I have bought a few. Not looking at selling anymore.
 
Glock 22 - a very nice police trade in.

I liked it a lot and it shot very well, but I sold it to buy a new FNS-40. The FN feels better in my hand, also shoots very well, and the .40S&W brass does not come out with the Gen3 Glock 'bulge'.
 
Winchester 1897 take down serial # dates it as made in 1900. It had wobble, too much to trust and might have had some blue somewhere but I couldn't find it. The stock had been elemer'd and nailed at some point maybe with a rock for a hammer. The fore end was missing chunks and a screw. I got more than I paid for it. The fellow that bought it was told all this and said "A master machinist and gunsmith I know can fix it." It was thrown at me at a gun show for $150 I had the cops run it to see if it was stolen as I always do when there. I sold it for $300 but it took 5 years to double in price. Deals can be had if you sit at a dealers table but some of them only grow in value slowly.
I've sold every collectible I could make a profit on to pay bills. I'm sitting on a couple as they're almost scrap and won't be valuable for several generations. I have my defensive and fun guns for now.
 
KelTec sub 2k 40cal. Not because I disliked it but because a son in law wouldn't quit begging me for it. He will probably enjoy it more than I did anyway.
 
Sold a beautiful, limited edition Savage 99 in .250-3000. I needed an antelope rifle, and this was way too nice to hunt with.

Actually I've sold quite a few. I have no one to pass them to and I rarely shoot any more
 
JM-stamped Marlin 1894C. It was the fifth lever action I owned and sold over the years. Much as I want a rifle chambered in .357 magnum, lever actions just don't "do it" for me. Never took to either .30-30, the .44 mag, nor the two .357s. I'd buy one, shoot it a bit, put it away, find it in my safe much later, and sell it again. I finally just bought a .357 barrel for my Encore. I'm done with lever actions. Now if Henry would offer their new Single-Shot in .357 ...
 
I recently sold the CZ-452 Special Military Trainer that I had purchased only two years ago.

It was a very fine rifle and has more inherent accuracy than I can use,,,
But for some reason I never got as much enjoyment out of shooting it as I had anticipated.

I don't think I put 300 rounds through it.

Last year I purchased a pristine ES340b Mauser rifle,,,
That (for some unknown reason) became my favorite range toy.

I decided to sell the CZ to a friend who had drooled over it on many occasions.

I've had no sellers remorse at all.

The last one I sold was an H&R 926 in 38 S&W. I just realized I was never going to shoot it. More and more I'm whittling back and getting rid of guns that I don't shoot and probably never will. One day I'll probably sell a couple more of the ones I've still got.

I don't miss them. They're just guns and can be replaced if I want to.
 
I just had to sell four recently to come up with a down payment on a new car (my first ever) after my old Beemer broke down again.

I sold a 357 Blackhawk that I had picked up just because it was a good deal.

I also sold off a cheap AR that I built and hadn't shot.

I sold my Kimber Custom II, I've shot the snot out of it and its been great but I'd been thinking about getting a nicer 1911 anyways.

I had to sell my 5" 629 that's my deer gun. That one was a little humbling to let go.

Once my vehicle situation got sorted out I sold off my "extra" M19 snub and a 10/22TD to replace my Kimber. I've got rifles for deer, I need another Gov't 1911. I'm happy to say I've got a blued Colt XSE on the way to replace the Kimber.
 
I really haven't "sold" a gun in a while, I more trade them.

When I do sell a gun, I use the funds to go towards a new gun.

With this being said, the last gun I sold was my Walther Creed in 9mm.
 
Sold my SP101. I like my J-Frames better. I figured if I'm going to carry something that heavy I'd rather carry my 7 shot Taurus 617 but, most of the time I carry a couple J's.
 
Last year I traded my Mossberg 590 Mariner for a good to very good condition Norinco SKS. The mossberg beat me up and I really enjoy shooting the SKS. That is the last gun I got rid of. The last gun I sold was a Hesse hk91. Pretty Much a POS and I am not sold on the delayed roller blowback rifle. It tears on the brass.
 
I sold a Draco AK pistol. Looked cool but the balance was really bad and accuracy was poor. Good news is I sold it for more than I paid.
 
My only AR: the 100% reliable, all-original S&W Sport II.
The gun never grew on me and I never liked stock AR triggers, even though...yes...they can be replaced along with everything else.

Traded it plus cash for a Hungarian AMD-65 'AK' with the original (chf) cold hammer-forged barrel and receiver, matching parts. The spot weld had to be repaired but that's expected.
Nice, smooth stock trigger and reduced muzzle rise/recoil.

This week I traded a CZ82 9x18mm Pistol and a S&W Model 15 (no dash) .38 Spl. Revolver for a new Cimarron SAA Model P .45 Colt Revolver and a new PSA AR15 Complete Lower Receiver for use with Glock 9x19mm magazines - difference cost me $5.00 +tax.
 
Haven't sold a gun since 2007..... That was when I sold the most beautiful, pristine, 100% matching, Model 95 Chilean Mauser that I think I've ever seen. Got it in late 1993 or early 1994. It was so nice I didn't even want to shoot it. Finally needed more room in the safes and decided my safe queen had to go. Sold it for nearly twice what it had cost me and the buyer didn't even try to talk me down. He wanted that thing BAD...... Used the money to help pay for the stainless 44 Mag. Ruger Redhawk I was in the process of buying. Only problem now is that I miss that Mauser. Even though it didn't get shot it was great to see peoples reactions to it and it was a joy to just look at and now that it's ten years later I'd bet that it's worth at least double what I sold it for in 2007.
 
Ruger Security Six. I placed it on Armslist for what I thought it was worth and got my asking price in about a week. It was redundant with a gp100 on hand, though I probably would have traded it for a shorter barrel version of the security six. Before that was a Rem 597. I rarely shoot .22 rifles and even though I don't miss the rifle it really wasn't worth the effort of selling.
 
Last ones I sold were a Rossi M720 in .44 Spl. Great gun but I had two of them left out of three I had once owned, and now I no longer get to shoot. (keeping the last one for my night stand)
Sold a Pre-war Colt Pocket positive Target in .22RF the same day.

Gave 4 guns away to family last month - that doesn't count as a sale.
 
Sold 1851 Navy when I bought a S&W 65. Started kicking myself the first time I squeezed the trigger without earplugs. 357 is awesome, but not ideal as a truck gun. That was 12 yrs ago.
