Ever sell a gun you didn't like too much, but still kick yourself??? - The Firearms Forum

Woodman · 01-11-2005, 12:39 AM

I sold a Para C6, 3" BBL single stack, wood stock, stainless, LDA.

Got it for about $600, fees incl, with 20 rounds through it. Had to tweak it a hair, but not much. It listed for $940, now the trplacement lists for $988.

It sold for $650, and I get $500. But heck, I sure do regret that sale.
Just the pleasure of walloping the hand with the recoil, then taking it apart was enough for me.

Now here is a model I really wish I picked up in the 2003-2004 year.
Now, it is all 2005 models withj the Griptor® front-strap.

Come on, show the love. Buy the Woodman a new gun and you will feel good about it. I might even come on over and rake the yard, fix the screen door, and repair that squeaky floorboard. Rewire Junior's bedroom with grounded recepticles?

Sincerely, Woodman.

I sold a Colt Combat Commander .38 Super that I wish I had kept.

njretcop · 01-11-2005, 10:07 AM

I am just as dumb as BlueTic (with all due respect, LOL.)

Also sold a Walther PPK to a fellow cop when I retired from the department. Sure wish I had that little gun back..........sigh!

Sounds a little rare. Never saw the .38 Super w/ a 4.25" BBL.

I bought in 1973 (maybe 1974) and sold it sometime around 1981-1982
It's only a fading memory now

I have a list of all of the firearms I have traded or sold over the years. The only one I really regret was a Colt SA I purchased from a friend just before starting college. I sold it to pay for my last semester of Graduate School in 1982. Wish I knew then what I know now........

Salvage33 · 01-11-2005, 04:49 PM

Just wish I could get back the pre-64 Mod. 70 Supergrade with the target stock, bull barrel, chambered in 220 Swift. Oh yeah..it had a 20X Unertl on top of it! That thing would drive wire nails!!!!

<sigh>

A NIB FN-FNC with grenade launcher for $1200....WTH was I thinking!

Safariland .45 Comp gun I built and set up for Speed Steel comp
and a matched pair of Colt 1911 .45's

Dr.Badwrench · 01-11-2005, 05:23 PM

Most of the guns I have sold, I sold them for a good reason (really didn't like, did not function propery, etc.), but the ones that stick in my craw are a really sweet custom 686 and a Ruger MkII. I don't know why I sold the 686. I was made an offer I couldn't refuse in the MKII.

Among the "good reason" sales are:

Beretta 92 (was my dad's, jammed like crazy)
Glock 17 (same, hated it)
H&R .22 mag pull-pin (pain in the . . . you know)
Marlin 30AS (don't hunt anymore and needed some quick cash)

ken w. · 01-11-2005, 07:02 PM

I sold a mint condition Winchester model 11 autoloader shotgun for $200.00.I hated this gun with a passion.I never felt such nasty recoil ever.Well,now the collectors want them in that kinda shape.Not that I really want it back,I just wished i kept it longer.

LIKTOSHOOT · 01-11-2005, 07:54 PM

NIB Clayco AKS, Underfolder, Green fiberlite stocks, serial number 1976.

A sold a Parker .410 for fifty bucks when I was 16. So young I don't know to this day what grade it was, but it was right up there. The construction guy I sold it to was over the moon.

Where'd I get the gun in the first place? It was my grandfathers.

Excuse me, I'm going to be sick---again.
