What gun do you regret selling?

[Bonasababy]

None for rifles. But I wish I had kept my first shotgun I bought for myself. Ithaca 37 mid 70's version, 12 gauge. I shot it well until I had the barrel cut and put a polychoke on it. Moved it on a deer gun--might have been my big bore model 94--because I couldn't shoot it as well. Not long after I learned about replacement barrels and not too many years after that screw in options became available.

Picked up a 69 28" 37 in 16 gauge recently, and all is well again.

The only gun I ever sold was the first one I ever bought... I was 12, and I worked to save money, snow shoveling, mowing lawns, and doing a paper route. Many years later I guy I worked with for years needed a rifle for his kid who was just starting. I sold it at 30% under the going price, and I gave him all the anno I had for it. I only hunted with it for one year. It went to a good cause, but I still regret selling it.

I didn’t sell it, but I think my brother did. It was my dad’s pre-64 Winchester 1894 in 30-30. The rest of my dad’s guns were there after my brother died, but not that one.

Ouch. My brother took my dads version of the same gun. To this day I say nothing ever carried as easy or came up as quick. My brother and his two boys both have taken deer with it. I think one of his grandchildren might be carrying it before long.

The auto industry can count on me to exhibit poor impulse control...

See you at the meeting....

...was it full of guns?

Lol, nope. Way cooler than any gun I've ever owned.

My first shotgun was a Model 37, 12g, mid 70s. Don't recall how it got away. 16g would have been even better.
