What firearms do you wish you had never sold, or could get back. Now, lets not list them all, as I was tempted to do.
For me....
1..Winchester low-wall thin side in 22short first year of production. Bought at a garage sale for $20.
2..S&W single shot 22. s/n 7xx first year of production. Neighbor was using it with rat shot to shoot snakes!!
3..Colt 1902 military 98% mfg. before 1909
4..S&W 32 double action(top break) 3rd model, nickel, UNFIRED!! Belonged to a jeweler who never had to use it.
5..Colt SAA mfg 1903 45lc 4 3/4 in bbl. good shooter too.
6..Colt pocket positive, unfired. Was given to a Mich. police officer upon retiring.
If I knew then what I know now......

Love them Beavers
T.G. Shepard song, " I loved them every one" . No really good reason for it, but the gun I most regret selling was a 3" Charter Arms .44 Special Bulldog. Just liked it, I guess. Needed to pay for one or the other babies.

Gotta live and learn.
One thing I learned:
When a good/fair deal comes up for something you like, which is hard to get, and you were just about to buy a current model you've been saving up for, put off the current model purchase. The older "gems" [gems to you and a few others] are only going to get harder to find.
[ unless a few dozen states ban guns altogether, and their misfortune floods the market to our benefit. [V]
22-410 o/u sold because I needed the money.
A really old S&W .32 that was out of time. I didn't know what I had when sold it. The serial number was inside the grip rather than on the butt.

Remember Ruby Ridge.
What if there were no hypothetical questions?

IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
Rem 788 7mm-08 Carbine new in '81
Both have increased 300% to 400% in value over the years.
Screw Allah & Have a Great Day!
The first was getting married and starting graduate school in the summer of 1981. I sold two Colt Single action revolvers to pay my tuition.
My down payment for the first house we purchased came from selling a number of my firearms. None of those were anything special.
When my wife became ill a few years back, a few more went to take care of the bills. I hope to replace a couple of them in the future.
