Winchester 1892 in 2520 made in 1912, colt king cobra original, mak 90, Colt bright ss 22lr saa, ruger birdsheads talo 22/22m.,taurus raging bull, ruger m77 SS 30-06, remington 11-87 premier, Colt NRA centenial SAA 45lc commemorative, Marin 444xlr jm, and a few more i cant think of.
 
Marlin 880 SQ .22lr heavy barrel Bolt rifle.... that thing was a tackdriver out past 100 yards.

A Ruger MKII target 22/45 with 7+ in slab-side barrel. I kept the Simon's 4× 32 pistol scope and have it on my Charger. That MKII was an awesome Squirrel gun.
 
None really....
Me neither - other than possibly a High Standard Sentinel that I sold to a coworker 45 or 50 years ago. It's only for sentimental reasons I kinda regret selling it though. It was my first handgun, and I bought it through my mom and dad's country store/gas station.
Other than that one, I can pretty much remember why I sold or traded off the guns that I don't have anymore. ;)
 
I've regretted selling any of them, despite the circumstances. I sold a gorgeous Model 27 in nickle and 6" because at the time in my youth I felt it was too flashy! Sold a Mint model 39-2 because I just wasn't sold on 9mm in the '80s. Sold a 5 screw 1st generation pre 29 8-3/8 because I just wasn't using it. these were all back when they were cheap guns. I believe I bought the 29 for 150 and sold it for nearly the same.
Then there are the ones that were stolen and never recovered or replaced, and all the foolish trades, etc.
However at some point I will sell the ones I have now for equally unknown reasons...:confused:
 
Remington 760 Carbine in .308.
3-inch pre-lock S&W 317 kit gun. After many years I found another that I plan to keep to the end.
Remington 700 VSSF in .308 I'd had accurized by Arnold Arms before they went out of business; had I known then what I know now, I'd have kept it and had it rebarreled in some version of 6.5.
 
None of them because I have never sold one. Haha. Im sure someone has already used that line.

I don’t regret any I have sold either. Ive sold some gems too. The sale of that gun was just a means to an end for another project or gun. I love buying and selling and know I am going to get burned here and there.

That is how I have experience with so many different guns. I am thankful for that and it would not have been possible without selling.
 
This....a Ruger bolt action International in .308 win

Especially when they stopped offering them the next year (except at Lipseys). Finally picked up a stainless model a couple years ago in 6.5 creedmoor.
