Guns you sold regrettably

CZ USA Custom Shop CZ 550 Safari Classic in 505 Gibbs.
Had Exhibition Grade English Walnut Stock.
Straightened and filled in bolt knob.
Fine Jewelled bolt body.
Mercury 1lb recoil reducer.
Extended mag box.
Aftermarket trigger and safety.

Needed the money, sold a few rifles, all higher grade models, even a couple of Kimber's, a Super America with French walnut and a Select French walnut.

I regret all of those sales, the 505 was the biggest regret, due to them not being made anymore.

Cheers.
 
I got into collecting old Winchesters like many others. I got caught up in the moment's of flipping and should have kept the following:

model 1886 rifle octagon in 40-82 original condition with lyman tang and express sites, along with Cody letter DOM 1891
model 71 first year deluxe in excellent, untouched condition
model 1892 rifle, round barrel in 25-20. Old reblue but mechanically perfect and a shooter DOM 1916
model 1894 rifle in 38-55 all original, lettered DOM 1896
Just reliving these sorry sales has me 😭😭😭

Also miss my Contender Super 14 in .35 Rem.

I am hanging on to my 1873 44-40 however. That one will be going to one of the kids. Another untouched, letters DOM 1883
 
I've bought and sold a lot. The only one that I really regret was a CM-2 cadet .22lr, made by Vostok? I believe.

That said most of those were all just factory rifle and handguns, have done a lot of buying or trading customs.

I did sell a criterion Savage barrel in 6mm BR that I sometimes wish I still had. Quite a shooter but also quite a pig to lug around (28" no taper). Thus it didn't get shot much.
 
Only sold to guns ever and regret both.
1. Colt model 70 Government satin 380. I think (used the money for a 629 w/ 8 3/8" barrel
2. First Generation IMI Desert Eagle. Used the Money for a brand new P226 West German 9mm.
Still have both those to replacement purchases and that was 35 years ago
