I rarely sell anything but I once sold an SKS Paratrooper with the thumbhole stock and correct AK magwell. I WISH I had that rifle back. It did get me a plane ticket to Panama for two weeks of epic surf (1999) but I haven't sold anything since and probably will not ever again.

Sold two guns ever-a Mini-30 and a beat up 870 that I got from a guy that owed me money, (well his wife actually) he smoked so much that the wood was impregnated with cigarette smoke YUCK! He must've kept it in his truck. Good riddance to both. I sold them at a gunshow and bought a used Glock 19 with some pre ban mags, much much much better gun than that Ruger was.

HK USP45. The only reason I sold it was cause I'm a broke college student and needed the money for bills.

I bought another one shortly after though.

Jericho 941: Was the complete kit with both calibers 9mm and 41AE.
I carried that pistol so much, I wore the finish off in a few places.
Traded it for a Colt Officers that wouldn't even feed 230gr. ball.

Remington 870 Express: My first gun purchase. Was a pretty plain shotgun, but it the first. Traded it to a guy that was a deputy for a small town. I think it still rides along in the squad car to this day.

Colt Woodsman Match Target 3rd Gen: Smoothest .22 I have ever shot. Traded it because the prices were up and thought I could do better. I was wrong. I keep my eye open for it at shows because it had a small gouge near the dancing pony. It was distinct enough that I'm sure I will find it someday.

I don't sell any of my babies anymore.

I put my M1A up in the EE last week. Now I'm reconsidering selling it. But it just sits in the safe, and that's no place for a rifle like that.

I try not to think about it too much.

Right now I'm looking to sell my P99. I don't think I'll regret it since I can't hit shit with it.

I am currently loyal to my 92F Brig. Damn good gun, and I'm pretty good with it too.

I've sold a PPK, but didn't like it much anyway. I'd rather have a Sig.

I've also sold an AR-10A2, but that was to my wife's bro. So since it's still in the family and I can still shoot it when I visit.

SAR-1 AK
4 ChiCom 75 round Drums

2 Mossberg 500's, a Remington 700, Russian Makarov, Colt King Cobra .357, Taurus PT101, a Ruger P94, a Glock 17 and a 22, Ruger mkII, Marlin Model 60 .22lr
The only guns I've ever sold that I didn't regret was a Romanaian AK that I rarely ever shot and a Norinco SKS that took AK magazines. But I have missed the other guns and had to sell them years ago when I needed the money and have regreted it ever since.

I only sold 2 ever. A norinco SKS in 1997 and a Ruger PC-4 in 2003. I kinda regret the SKS, but if I really wanted another I could just buy it again. The Ruger was sold to fund my 9mm AR and it was well worth getting rid of it for the AR.

Polytech M14/S.

Bought new for under $350.

Sold to my brother-in-law a few years ago to finance my first AR. He's always wanted it, so I figured it would stay "in the family". The rat bastard traded it on an Izhmash AK.

1. My first revolver ... a Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum ... it was EXTREMELY accurate ... but I didnt know at the time its accuracy was exceptional.

2. My 44 Magnum Desert Eagle

3. Franchi LAW 12, I had a SPAS and didnt like it, the LAW 12 was great, shoulda kept it.

NONE! Because I've never sold a firearm!

Posted: 9/29/2004 7:15:05 AM EDT

[#41]

Pre-ban HK94A3, pre-ban IMI Uzi Carbine, pre-ban SPAS-12 folder... all well BEFORE the ban!

Since then I got into ARs & AKs and never replaced any of the three.

My Chineese Military (not Norinco) SKS SN 61331 in new condition. Sold it for $175 in 1999.

Bought a SAR-2 with the money though, so it left for a good cause.

Savage 110 FP in .308, in a mcmillan stock, with loopy glass.... I traded it for a PSS and my group size got bigger. Man that rifle was a dream to shoot at a distance. I went back to the shop a week later to buy it back and it was sold

As I continually tell my brother-in-law when he eyes my collection, "I only buy guns..."

The two I did sell hem though were no great loss.

Whereas he has many regrets selling what should have been long-term keepsakes for short-term financial problems.

He coveted one of my AR's so I had him buy a lower and I built him a nice one.

Cheers, Otto
