I regret selling my Aero Precision 7.5" AR-15, the 1st one I ever built myself with parts from the internet and TSE...

It's odd, over time there are guns I sold...regretted for years...only to realize that selling actually was the right choice. If there is one I think about that aches a litte...it was my grandfather's Winchester 1907. To make matters a little worse, I came across a B&W photo of him @ his hunt camp in Ontario holding it. I hadn't started reloading when I sold it, only available ammo was in the US and huge $. I'd have never used it if I kept it, but I realized years later that the buyer was mostly interested in the ammo.

Also sold a stunning condition/spectacular wood Remington 11-48 in 20ga, VR barrel. That's one I wish I could call back.

Anyhow-time is getting short, only interested in what's ahead of me now. No sense in wallowing in the past. I love, and hate threads like this btw. lol

I don't really regret selling any of my firearms, except some that I could sell for a lot more now than when I sold them. Those would be my Marling and Winchester levers in 22lr,22mag, 30-30,308 Marlin, 356Win, and 45-70. I may miss some of my firearms, but all were upgraded to something that I like even more. If I don't use a firearm, I don't mind selling it, and using the money elsewhere.

Not that they were collectable or anything but I wish I hadn’t sold my Ithaca SKB 500 12ga, my 9422, 9422mag, and my win model 1885 6.5x55 low wall.

Ruger #1 22-250. I bought from a fellow forum member, he regretted selling and so do I.

Actually never had sellers remorse, I've sold a pile of guns over the years but when I decide to sell one it's gone, never look back. My wife is the after the fact shoulda, woulda, coulda person in the house
