What’s that 1 gun you regret selling?

[William A. Ellis]

I sold a beautiful Colt AR 15, A2, fixed stock, triangular handguard, Colt scope, in the late 80's, for $350. Wife at the time needed money to get into nursing school. After she got her nursing license, she took off. Was worth it to get rid of her, but really wish I had the gun back.

Cancer spread, started retirement, needed money. Got rid of a Marlin “Limited” Carbine in 45 Colt, and 16.23” barrel! Man! I miss that rifle! Still got cancer!

Top two are the PTR-91 and S&W 329 PD. I don't regret selling any gun. I just really hate that I didn't like them as much as I would have wanted to.

The PTR was just a bear to clean. I hate that bolt design.

The 329 PD I couldn't shoot full power loads without the bullets creeping out of the case and locking up the cylinder. Not to mention the recoil was worse than my 500. If I shot lighter bullets then the top strap would get cut into.

Honorable mention: SHTF 50. Heavy, expensive ammo, and too long to fit in my gun safe. Kicked harder than my single shot 10 gauge.

The most regretful thing I've done was pass on an unfired 6.5" S&W model 29-2 in original presentation case for $750.

Ha! I sold both a PTR and 329PD, don't regret either at all.

I really have no firearm regrets, other than selling my bulk 762x51 about 6 months too early.

My Norinco MAK-90.
I never liked that gun, but I understand they bring a huge price these days because the receiver was built extra thick,
and I must admit the action was butter smooth.
I regret selling it at a time when it's value was only twice what I paid for it,
not now when I could get 5X what I paid for it.

Painful. I too had one along with a nice Yugo underfolder. Traded both and a lot more for a motorcycle. With current value, i look like I’ve been robbed.

Haha, legend? Have you been in my head?

well you're the only ODT person that's been on the news for something related to on here, and took it in stride.
