Sold My Last .303s and Feeling Guilty

[lawn gnome]

So I finally sold out of the .303 world by selling off the last of my Mklll and No4s to fund other areas.
I am feeling guilty over this.

Do I have to exile myself from the Milsurp forum?

No, just go and sit in the corner contemplating the error of your ways for a bit ..... ;>)

If you are funding other worthwhile causes then no penance is required.

 

[bogusiii]

No worries, you made someone else happy. And once you decide to re-buy them you'll make the seller even happier. Have you seen the way prices on those babies are going up?

 

[Butcherbill]

Hope you got a good price for them, they aren't cheap now.

Times have certainly changed. Bought my first No4 for $9.95!

only feel bad if you have ammo left over thats not shot up.

You should! Old dad sold his that he got from his old dad.... I had to buy it back (he sold it to a buddy of mine) for what he sold it for -400$. Full wood 1944 us property No.2 mk1, not the greatest shape but I can't describe how good it feels to shoot. My intention is to bag a moose with it and send grampa a pic

You WHAT????

Your guns. Mine? Couldn't fit that into my realm of thinking.

 

[flying pig]

Don't feel too bad, I sold a few of my babies a few weeks ago to buy a lathe! My toy money went to something other than guns!

 

[infideleggwelder]

i traded a gun once. for a better gun in my opinion. i still regret it.

Well Mister, you might as well turn in your Canadian passport too.

 

[Sharps '63]

My list of guns that I wish I had kept is longer than the list of the guns I currently own. Haven't met a gun owner who can't tell the same story .....

The tears will start when you decide you need another and see the prices.

Heretic! Apostate!

,,,,,,,but,,,but,,,, I kept my Cooeys,,,,,and still have a Mauser or two,,,,,,,



I actually used to have six Garands at one time.
One from each US and Italian maker.
I bought them all for two to three hundred bucks.
When the prices went through the roof, I couldn't justify keeping them.

 

[plinker 777]

I've never sold a gun, just keep buying!? They don't cost $ in the lock-up so why sell? (I sleep fine at night in case you're wondering)

^If the Cooey's aren't pre-Winchester you may in fact be in hazards way of having your citizenship revoked. You can make amends with 3 or 4 SKS's and accompanying cases of ammo though. Something to keep in mind.

I just traded a nice old 1913 saddle ring 94 with a working 3 leaf express sight for a 1941 Longbranch and a Czech-rebuilt Israeli 98. I felt like I had betrayed somebody - me!

Very very seldom do I let anything go from my favored pile, but these two needed a good home.

There is always time for more down the road. ..gotta have a couple kicking around !
