regrets

[jdb]

I am sure we all have " I sure wish I would have bought/not sold that "stories. Lets here em. I passed on a win. model 70 featherwieght in.257 roberts about 15 years ago and have always wished I hadnt, also passed on a ruger mkII with a 10" bull barrel for 189$ about 2 years ago. and then they quit makeing them about 3 months later and the prices have sky rocketed. I also built a 10/22 and gave it away to a guy who let it go. JB

I sold my Remington 870 that was full choke only and chambered 3 inches only to buy a Browning Gold so that I could waterfolw better with steel shot etc.  That was the smoothest action I have ever had in a gun and really wish I would have just put the rest on credit card and kept the Remmington.  I probably will never sell another gun.


Basically it was a present from my Mom and Dad, mostly as I was always using my Dads and that way we could do it together.  They had some deal to never buy us kids guns.  Don't know about that, but it was special that the rule got broke for me.  I AM STILL SICK over it.

I sold a 12 gauge beretta that i wish i would have kept.  It was the only gun that i have ever sold.

I sold a Smith & Wesson model 629 .44 mag.  I still kick myself in the butt thinking how stupid I was to sell it.

I sold a Browning A Bolt .270 with a leopold scope (that I added) and hard case when I was like 19 that I had got from my dad for a christmas gift...I was low on cash and didnt get half of what it was worth.

Never fired a shot at an animal with it....

I sold a 700bdl in 30-06 that was topped with a fixed 6x Leupold.  The scope I purchased and the gun a was a gift from my Dad.  Have never sold another gun since, and truly tears me apart every time I think about it.  You know, old story, couldn't afford rent in school and to damn dumb to ask for help.  Got about half what it was worth.  Wish I knew how to find that gun.

my first car was a 1984 audi 4000si deisel. it was a junker that needed a little work but the darned thing got like 55mpg. with having to take out a loan for a tank of gas these days i wish i wouldnt have let my dad get rid of it.

told this before when I was 16 summer of 79 worked all summer to buy my own gun Remington came out that year with a renamed 280 the 7mm express ordered 1 and when it came in put a 2x7 red. widefield on it. Well 5 years later more important things came up YEAH RIGHT well sold it. Now I am collecting every model and variation Remington made. I have a guy at cabelas that checks there inventory each week for me because they have a lot of guns that me or you can't see on-line like most of you the only place 98% of my guns will be going is to my 2 sons

Cherried out a 68 mustang in 1999 ,finally had it all done and was enjoying it. Then the neighbor wanted to sell me his property at a killer deal, so the mustand sold for a down payment. I miss that car.

Never had regrets selling a gun because I was always upgrading to something better.

[cohoho]

No regrets on selling guns nor most stuff, reason for years I had the nick name of Monty Hall, Let's make a deal.....   but sold a 75 CJ-5 that I built for three years while in England, imagine how hard it was to get parts there.  Anyhow, almost had it done, had a 327 Chevy motor from a wrecked older GI's Camero (buddy was a kick ass mechanic, not me), dana 44s with taller gearing, Detroit's both back and front.  Beefed up drive train, 4" lift with 35" Mickey Thompson's, 8000lbs winch and a unpainted primer body that was Rhino lined (similar type material) in the inside.  Sold it to a British guy that had a fascination with American cars , well for a butt load of money, way over what I had invested, but still miss that Jeep for sure... One day, I'd like to do it all overgain...

Traded my 870 wingmaster for an 870 special field.  Hated the special field.

I sold a Sako finfire that I bought the first year they came out. A buddy bought it and I offer to buy it back everytime he pulls it out, no luck. 

 A colt combat elite in .45, its pretty collectible now. A Volquartsen Ruger MK2, which I sold and did replace later on, so thats ok.

 Since there are some cars listed, my 1st truck was a 63 GMC factory 4x4 that I restored, like a teenage *censored* I was going to go thru it bolt by bolt, tore it apart and needed cash and sold it piece by piece 

That ones not easy to replace.
