I agree run. I have NEVER sold any of my guns....NEVER. I understand some may have to for financial reasons or whatever reason. I still have the very first gun I ever recieved and bought and I hope to god that I never get to the point where I have to sell even one of them.

OH....UM that's all I have is just that one.......yep.....just one I'm pretty sure.  ;)

I wont list why, still bugs me...

S&W 629Classic
Ruger sp101 .357
Glock 30 .45

Bought and sold a bunch of Rifles 1894's, L1A1's .22's And a few other handguns, I sometimes forget what I used to have.  Don't miss any of those but I'd love to have those 3 Hanguns back.  Don't think I'll ever sell another one.

A Winchester mod. 1200 in 20 gauge pump that my dad bought for me when I was 12 for working for him all summer.  Hunted a lot with it, frequently it would try to load 2 at a time from the magazine and jam.  Had a beautiful stock.  Regret selling it because of what it represented, not because it was a great gun.  Also had a single shot .22 Savage that was the same story.  Wouldn't always eject without the casing getting stuck, but it was one of those happy Christmas memories.

I have NEVER sold any of my guns....NEVER.
I have.  If I didn't, I'd have 3 or 4 THOUSAND firearms.  Not even MY understanding wife would understand that...... :)

But the one I regret?  A Savage M24V .357/20 gauge.  I cannot remember for the life of me why I traded it off, but I did.  I'd sure like another.

My first rifle, a Remington 572 Fieldmaster 22 - pump action.   :bash:  Loved it and learned how to shoot with it.  I could shoot the eye out of a knat with that thing.  Dang ... I find my self wanting to go check out GunBroker now ...

That would hurt, Love my 629 classic

The one I wish I hadn't sold was a Winchester SS M70 Classic in 300 WSM.  Found it at a Walmart in AZ on sale for $499.  Ran in to some lean days and sold it for the same price.  It was a shooting machine. :bash:

H&K Model 93.  Bought for $500 in the early 80s.  Just saw one somewhere for $3000.  That was a sweet shooting rifle. :'(

H&K 91 sniper model and an H&K 94, I sure wish that I hadn't traded them but I got a several guns and a bunch of cash for them when the "assault weapons" ban went into effect.  Since then I have made a deal with myself to never get rid of or trade any gun.
