Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
Wished I never sold off my original Brit L1A1, and wish I never laid eyes on that POS SMLE Ishapore carbine in 308. Every other gun I have ever owned I still have except for teh UZI Model B and it's 'parts'(traded for the L1A1, best trade ever) and the Ruger P85(traded back straight across for the 45 I built for my friend).
Wished I had an HK a while back, found one cheap, wished it was a FAL, then traded it straight across for a R1A1 Aussie FAL...Aussie FAL is every bit of the gun my L1A1 was and has a better barrel

Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
M1 Garand I picked up cheap, but the insurance needed to get paid so it got sold. Same thing with my first 1911 and the truck payment. I'm still trying to get that one back but that's another story.
I have a couple bought from some friends who were in the same money trouble I was when I was younger, but buying a gun off a friend and letting them keep their honor beats giving them a loan any day of the week. The guns weren't that great and I paid more than I could have paid otherwise, but that wasn't the point. I still have them just in case they ever want them back. Not necessarily a regret, but definitely some dust collectors in the safe.

can for .....................3500.00 ouch!!
(would have had to store it out of the PRKA- but ir would

Even though I love the taste of Glock Coolaid, I could never get used to the pinky hanging off. I'm sticking to the G19/23. G26 is a great concealable sidearm for some, just not me.

Wish I hadnt sold the Springfield Armory NM M1A I bought in about 1990.
Should have bought the MP5 with the Navy trigger group for $3500 a ways back.
Should have passed on the black powder 44 cal revolver.

Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
When I was a youngster, ma said I could have my choice of rifles to be used for the upcoming deer hunt. I had it narrowed down to a .30-30 M94 Winchester or a .270 M70. Well, I chose the M94. I guess all the cowboy movies at the time was the major influence in that. This took place in 1957.
It didn't take too many years to realize I had made a mistake. I still have the M94 though.
I kinda wish I hadn't sold my Barrett M99 a few years back.

Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
Sold my Para Ordanance 45, had 3, 15round doublestacked mags. A friend offered 1k for it, I paid 500 from a guy that needed rent money, sounded like a good deal at the time.
Sold my little browning 22 I got as a kid from my father. saw it later at a GUN SHOW for 1200 dollars as a collecter item.
Traded a 8 guage for a new set of remington ultralight 1100's ( got the 16, 12, 20, and 28 guage for it) once again was a collector item.
Sold a malfunctioning muzzleloader, found out later it was my great, greatgrand fathers Musket issued from the confederate army. was offered 3k for it and I was 16yrs old. Sold it to a cousins husband. He would not sell it back. My mother was extreamly pissed over that one.
Kept everything else from both my grandparrents, was not or will not sell another firearm with out research it first.
Along the way I passed up severel I should have bought but never look back at what could have been for it will not give you what you have now.
But I recently aquired a Win 284, and a Sears and Robuck 20g with pollychoke gave 200 dollars for the both at a pawn shop.

My Ruger P85 was a gen 1 before the Mk1 safety fix came out. It shot like a dream. I built my .45 for a really good friend and when we moved to Hawaii, I didn't want to get rid of all my 15 round mags so we traded straight across, my P85(that at the time had the MkI fix factory direct), Hogue grips, and six mags for the .45 and 8 mags. I go tthe better deal on that! When I think back on that Ruger, it ran like a sewing machine with anything that was fed into it from fmj's to plastic coated hp's or 147jhp's. +p+ and less it shotit all really well. Panty 6 loved it...until she fired the .45. That was all it took to seal the deal on the trade

About 15 years ago, a guy I worked with was desperate for cash. He offered to sell me an HK 93 with many accessories and several mags. Was the real deal and in excellent shape, only wanted $1000 cash. Not my dream rifle, but coulda made a shit load of money on the resale if I didn't want to keep it!

Another one I forgot to add. Sold this fireball monster the week after buying it. I can't imagine a real world use for it.

I sold it.
It cost me $350 to shoot it twice. </div></div>

Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
Kicked myself by letting my dad trade a NIB fabarms/HK FP6 pump for a Lanber O/U M82, wasn't a horrible deal (at the time) but I would have preferred the FP6. Haven't sold any of my own. Don't really regret buying any, yet. I do wish I lived in a different state Iowa doesn't allow any class 3, AOW, suppressors etc etc.

I wish I never would have sold my Kimber Desert Warrior.
I wish I would have never bought a SIG P250 but glad I sold it.
The worst DAO trigger ever produced IMHO.

Re: Guns: Wish you had, wish you skipped
Three things that I wish I would have picked up at the time:
NIB Barrett when they came on the market. $2400 bucks. Still kicking myself.
Steyr AUG, semi auto around the same time as the Barret.
NIB semi-auto BAR that a fellow club member was selling, that he had had for like 10 years, for the same price he paid for it. By the time I decided to go for it, it was gone.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda...
