So what gun do you want back?

In 1999 before the Ca AWB, I sold my Bushmaster in fear of confiscation. Man, I should have just registered it.

Ruger SS Single Six 5.5", made in 1774. I have other, but I miss that little gun.

Not sold, but confiscated due to Lautenburg....on nothing but accusations due to a nasty divorce.

M1 Garand, June 1943 Springfield Armoy, HRA bolt, with a milled IHC trigger
Yugo SKS
AR-15 Dissapator
Marlin Model 60
Mossberg 500
JC Higgins Model 20
SA HiCap 1911, semi loaded.

I want them all back, along with my 2A rights that were suspended without trial. :banghead:

Interarms Mauser in .375 H&H. S. O. B. I sold it to won't sell it back. That's cheating. A friend is s'posed to sell it back to you when you sober up. Cheater.

I sold a HK SP-89 back in 98... I really wish I would have kept it, but the money was way too good to pass up at the time

I really want my Grandaddys Winchester '92 in 25-20 back. It was from the early 1900's... He learned to shoot with it, my uncle learned on it, and I learned on it. Some freaking scumbag cleaned their farm out 15 years ago...
Ohh I would love to have an hour alone with that guy

Astra Constable .380. That was a great gun. My first CCW.

S&W 629 Classic (44mag) with 8 3/8" barrel. It had a Nikon 1.5 pwr scope on top.

Bought in '91, sold in '93 due to financial hardship.

To this day, I have never shot a handgun that had that level of perfection with the trigger pull. It was simply a beautiful handgun that did its job very well. Not to mention this was a time long before anyone thought it was a good idea to build a lock in a handgun.

1939 made, DWM Luger. -Sniff-
Ithaca Model 37 20ga
Winchester Model 1897
Browning Nomad

M29 with a2.5" barrel, 1901 M96 Sweed Mauser, 1909 Argentine Mauser.

High Standard Sentinel 4" barrel, nine shot revolver. The gun maternal grandma put in my 'dresser drawer' crib when I came home from being born.
Family member stole it - sold it for dope.
I grew up with that gun, lots of memories, and a few serious "stop immediate threats".

My '73 Steel Combat Commander. My HS grad gift to myself.

Model 12 in 28 ga, one a Mentor passed onto to me.
BHP - Mentor passed onto to me.
Model 70 in '06 - Mentor passed to me.
1911s , K Frames, J frames , various ones, some Mentors passed onto to me.
Model 29 - Lady partner now gone, it was her 'car gun' and it 'came in handy'.
it too is gone. Got it back from S&W after it "came in handy" once ...then it was ...won't go there, I'll get choked up and angry at the same time.

I'm going to get blurred vision from sentiment and upset if I go on...my first .22 rifle and how it got busted up and ruined. (some special books destroyed in that rage too by someone).

Life is Life and live long enough - some things have special memories, some things one misses...
Still...

That pistol grandma gave me with its pitiful leather holster, the Case Peanut knife with bone handles and CV blades she gave me, a box of .22 ctgs, that hardback copy of Ruark's The Old Man and The Boy, tin can of Browning gun oil and just let this little feller sit on the floor and remember.
Let me handle, smell and piddle, and have these items back.

1988 Smith & Wesson 66, polished stainless with the prettiest walnut wood grips. It was my "example" gun (example of why I don't sell any now). The attitude that (unless it's a lemon) I'll keep a gun for life has had the side benefit of making me much more careful about what I buy in the first place.

Sig P220 .45 with night sights. I liked that one. And my old Browning BDA380. It was nice.

S&W Model 10

First gun I ever owned; a S&W mod 10, 4" nickel finish with mother of pearl grips and a basketweave duty holster; Paid $150.00 for it, and then, having entered the world of handgunning, I began reading and learning about other handguns. So began the long road of trading my gun plus a little cash for another gun I couldn't live without...boy the guns I have let go of over the years...But I wish I had that original Smith back...:banghead:

well let's see...

the Marlin 39M, mostly b/c i screwed up and forgot to take the lyman receiver peep sight off of it before i traded it (sight had a family history, having been swapped around various Marlin lever guns since probably before WW2). but i also miss it b/c i traded it b/c i wasn't shooting it much if any, anymore and wanted a new scoped centerfire. Then a year or so later the Savage .223 i traded it toward wasn't working out as well as i'd hoped, and I discovered that "cowboy lever action silhouette"(or whatever it's officially called,) had come to my local range and though highly interested, i of course no longer HAD a legal gun for this game! :banghead:
the savage it was traded towards has been gone for almost a year (sold to pay for an AR complete upper) and due to being out of work i have been unable to replace my marlin (i almost had a shot at getting MY gun back, but that's not for here)

as for a "wow THAT was smart Einstein" regreted gun sale.
SA "GI Mil-Spec" 1911A1. sold it (possibly at same time as the marlin, not sure) with the following thoughts,
I know i do want a USGI type 1911 in the collection, but I want a pistol that doubles as a possible carry gun, and these sights are a bit small for that, also I bought this for my wife's use as well as mine, and she seems to like the sights less than me... so i guess i'll trade this in for "X" and make a 1911 with 3-dots the purchase after "X". that makes sense! wrong:banghead:

Again i think it also went toward the scoped centerfire project, which didn't turn out right, in addition a full 6 months or more AFTER it was gone from the safe, my wife pops out with "why don't you ever take the .45 along any more i LIKED that one?!? :banghead:
let's just say that in the aftermath of "the 1911 incident" a new rule of more open comunication with regards what is "liked and disliked" and any changes thereof has come to being between the two of us.

This is easy. Prior to getting into firearm collectin' and shootin' I acquired a Colt Lighting revolver and sold it for,... (sniff) $350 (and I threw in some old S&W top break revolver).

I don't know if the Lighting was a good shooter or not, but I've seen them for almost $800 these days and I regret not having it still. It was in need of a renickel, but it was a nifty little pistol.

And I sold a Luger for a buddy that wanted $600 for it and I didn't have it, so I found a buyer for him. Prior to selling it, I took it out and shot 2 boxes of ammo through it.

Stock CZ75 I bought at the Rod n Gun club in Weisbaden Germany for a sun of $150 ! I know where it is to this day but the guy who has it won't part woth it (I even offered a NEW CZ75B + $200 cash)

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

That's easy for me:

Heckler and Koch HK91A2 w/wide forearm that I purchased in 1987. I got greedy during the AWB and sold it. :banghead:

John

Marlin .30-30 I bought for myself as a reward for getting a job. Sold it later when I needed money prior to a child being born. It was the right thing to do at the time but I still miss that rifle.

S&W 1917 - I sold it because it needed some work. If only I had done the work it would have been a sweet handgun. Lazy and stupid and (now) wiser. It taught me a lesson.

Easy; none. I've only sold 2, and I want no part of either of them.

I have only sold a handful of guns and most of them I don't miss. However, about 2 weeks after I sold my USP stainless .45 I found out HK stopped importing them (stainless models). I wish I'd had the finances to keep it. I had sold it in order to get a LNIB S&W 1006.

I liked the USP and finding out that you got rid of something you may never be able to replace is always a bummer. Oh well.

The 1006 is a better pistol in every respect, though, so my regrets are not that deep.

Grandad's little .32 Browning that Grandma turned over to the cops when Grandad died.

Hell, I want all of the ones I sold back, unless it was one of the ones I sold because it was a POS.

the intratec TEC DC-9 ah but it was a semi still a fun gun 36rounds clips pure awesomness

I want the Steyr S40 that was stolen from my house back in August back.

There are many but you ask for the gun as in the singular one. That's a hard one to call... I dunno, I'll say the first Colt AR-15 I bought new back around '74 for $300. I kinda miss having one around but I haven't been in the mood to spend the $$$$ on a (yet another) replacement.

An AMT 45 Longslide. Gun was awesome and there's never been anything else like it. Don't remember it ever jamming on me.
A Colt Anaconda in 45 Colt that I sold for more than I paid for it new (from a gunshop in a trade-in). As soon as thay gave me a price, I should've smelled a rat and kept it. (collector's item?)
