What gun/rifle or any firearm you regret getting rid of the most?

A Colt Single Action Army. Purchased new in the box for $475.00 at, of all places a local TG&Y. I kept it a few years but, with young kids and a shoestring budget, couldn't justify keeping it. I sold it for $600.00 and thought I made out alright. Today they go for around $1,500.00 ... when you find one. Would love to find another reasonably priced.

Also had a S&W Model 15, bought for the princely sum of $75.00 years ago. It was in like new condition and an extremely accurate shooter. Beautiful gun that I wish I hadn't gotten rid of. However I eventually stumbled upon a NIB S&W Model 19 that I'm equally happy with.

I reached a point where I couldn't justify collecting AKs anymore and dumped them, still regret it often, especially now that replacing them will cost double.

For me it was a Beretta M 96 compact L. All Inox, no blued or black controls. I searched for years to find it, had to sell it to pay bills and still to this day it's the only one like it I've ever seen.

Also a Target Grey Ruger GP100 with the rubber and wood combo grips.

Thankful that I have never had that problem.

I would love to get my dads 1911 back that was taken. Remember him Bagging his lunch for quite awhile to buy it.

Back in the day I got rid of a Norinco SKS because it was ammo redundant with my MAK-90, and the detachable mags with those big front pieces really annoyed me. It wasn't anything super special, but I've come to regret selling it as I've grown older and more politically observant.

Toss up between a Ruger Service 6 4" and a marlin .357 lever action.

My tec 22 and my first shotgun from my Dad. A 410 topper jr. I've looked for both over the years and can't find either.

East German Sig 226 when I was in college (long time ago) and a Galil in .308 when I got my H&K rifles built.
I was hard up for money when I sold the Sig, but really had no good reason for selling that Galil. Had a lotta stuff with it too. (Sniff)

4" Python for $300 and a Ruger 44 carbine.

In the 70s after college I bought a dead mint Winchester 9422M lever action in Colorado for $100. Loaned it to a guy one winter who head-shot deer to eat all winter. Then moved to Mississippi and decided .22 Mag was too loud and expensive. Sold it to a young guy for the same $100, he grabbed it quick. Now they are pushing $800 for mint specimens.

In the early 1950s when I was 12 or 13, I had a German WWII rifle (A K98 Mauser) that one of my uncles had given me. I kept it in my closet at home in Houma, LA. I asked my grandfather if we could get some ammunition and find someplace to shoot it. He told me that ammunition was not available for rifle.
Well, at that time, not being able to shoot it disappointed me. I had an opportunity to trade it for a Benjamin Pump BB air rifle and my grandfather told me I could trade it if I wanted. I did.
In recent years, I have tried to remember the name of the kid I made the trade with so that I could contact him to see if he still had the rifle. However I cannot recall his name.
Now, there is no way that I will ever sell or trade any firearm that I have purchased or has been given to me. They are all special regardless of make, model, or condition. I hope to pass them on to a family member who will enjoy them and will preserve and protect them.
I do have a very nice 8mm Mauser but it is not a K98.

My m70ab2. ( ak47 under folder). Picked it up trading some car parts I got for free but had no use for for. Sold it for 600 to pay some bills last summer . Really wish now I would've found another way to get those bills paid.
