The gun trade you regret the most.

[bjtraz]

I have sold/traded several, but the ONLY 1 I regret was an Olympic Arms M4 carbine (my first AR) that I traded for a Universal M1 carbine. I had a second AR that I had built, and really wanted a M1 carbine. I just committed the number 1 mistake in life ....... allowed emotions to override intelligence and traded w/o enough research. My loss, his gain!

I've almost always traded up and don't regret any of the guns.  It might have been nice to have my first gun, a 3-screw Blackhawk back, but no real regret.  

What I miss most is the 1.1x Hutson Handgunner scope that was on top of that Blackhawk.   I was on the cusp of putting scopes on handguns and really wish I had kept that scope.   Now a collectors item.  The one shipped to Jeff Cooper in 1970 for evaluation is for sale for $300.  

These were early years of handgun specific scopes.

There are 2 I regret, One was a Detonics Combat Master that I sold because I was laid off and really needed the money. The other was a Colt Detective Special That was one of the 1st 300 made post 1971 with the shrouded heavy barrel and shorted grip frame.

My one and onyl gun regret.

I traded away my Springfied scout rifle in .22lr/410 for...... a H&R Buffalo Plains revolver. 

I keep telling myself that I was new to guns and had no clue at the time to ease the pain.

My only regret is that I could keep them all Where would I put them all.  I never have any regrets because I have traded for something that I really want to call mine. And I will pay a little bit more to take it home and lock her up in my safe

I sold a S&W Model 29 .44 Magnum for the money to buy my wife's engagement ring.  (A man can't love a woman more than that)
And no, I don't regret it. 

Now THAT is captivated by love!!

The biggest regret I have over gun trades is getting rid of my first gun, a Remington Speedmaster .22, given to me by Dad, for a POS pump shotgun.
Don't ask me why I needed a shotgun when I didn't even have a drivers lic or a car to get to where I could hunt birds. 
Man, I was one dumb kid at the time.

There was a time, before we became PC, around here when we just called it whipped

The first 2 guns I ever received. A Remington Model 514 single shot .22, and a Winchester Model 37 single shot shotgun in .410. I sold them when I got into high school. I can't even remember what for. Dumb. I wish I had them today. I learned my lesson and never sold a gun since, or ever will.  Bill T.

 I regret selling an old model Ruger Blackhawk in .357 to a friend I thought needed it. The only other regrets are the guns I didn't buy when they were common and in my price range like Pythons and SAAs.
