Have you ever sold a gun and then felt utter remorse right after? I almost put my first AR ever up on the EE to fund a new gun just a few minutes ago. I mean I had the pics up and everything and now I'm mad at myself for even thinking about doing it.

I kept hearing "2 is one, 1 is none" in my head and thinking what I would do if the Russian paratroopers started landing in the backyard.

Thanks ARFCOM. You have made me emotionally attached to my guns.

I've sold 3 AR's over the years and regretted each one.

No, I do have a few I'd never sell but I don't regret selling any that I've sold and I've sold quite a few. The only ones I kind of miss are my Contenders.

I sold my IBM M1 Carbine and have regretted it to this day.

Got it from the CMP for $595 and it was in pristine condition.

There's probably five or six guns in my safe that i haven't fired in over five years and hold zero collector value. Every time i pull them out to take pics for the EE i end up pussing out.

Yep I have a policy of not selling any guns for any reason other than a last resort of my life/families life depending on it.

Glad to hear you escaped that folly.

I've sold a few, only one I sorta regret. The rest I sold because I hated them/ they were garbage/ I traded for what I had truly wanted all along.

I see no reason to keep something I despise. But that's just me.

I've sold a few guns, and ironically, the only one I miss is the most useless, a GSG-5...

I just sold my GSG-5 last week...really, I missed my 10/22 and will buy another one of those soon.

I sold 2 practically new original AR180s, one Costa Mesa and one Howa, and regretted the hell out of it.

Of course, at the time, I was in pretty dire financial straits.

Only ever sold three guns, A Tec-9, a High-point .45, and a Marlin .444. In other words, junk guns.

I've never sold a few. I just wait until I have enough money to buy more.

Worked out OK so far

Hell, I sold a gun a long time ago when I was young and dumb... twenty years ago and I am still pissed about it.
