The new 'i wish i kept that gun' thread

Colt Frontier Scout.

Man that was a fun little single action revolver. Bought it for a song and still don’t know why I ever sold it.

Shoot straight - chrisco

Colt 1911 ( pre a-1)

Circa mid to late 1990's, real deal WWII vintage USGI contract 1911A1's sold in the range of $350 for exc/correct/matching examples. Including the Colt roll marked ones.

Wish I'd kept every one I had pass thru my hands in those years.

simple Swedish mauser, sporterized in 6.5...sold it, regretted it, tracked it down later and bought it back!

Smith & Wesson model 19-5.

Sweetest revolver ever!

Smith and Wesson 4505. Not many made and now I can't find one anywhere.

Still kicking myself 25 tears later.

My brother owned an 858 for a few years. I swear it was more accurate than his Russian SKS.

That's because they are.

That's because they are.

Cool. My experience with either model of rifle is extremely limited.

It was my dad's.....

Weatherby Vanguard S2 in 223 with the 1-12 twist

Well I have an identical one with the original box serial # 776XX, probably manufactured (Dec. 1965) & imported at the same time as the one pictured since it’s numbered ~200 off yours.

 

[boxcoach]

S&W Model 10 with 2" barrel. One of the only snubbies sturdy enough for +P ammo. I kept a Colt Cobra 2" lightweight for nostalgic reasons, but it's half the gun that Model 10 is. I'd buy it back if it ever shows up on here.

VZ858, paid $400 for it. Had to sell it because I was house poor at the time and needed the money more. Flipping guns was a great side husle, things have changed though.

Both tokarevs, 9mm and a Russian. Sold russian, missed it, bought the a 9mm tokarev. Sold it, now I am thinking of buying another tokarev while they are only $200. They are not great guns. Tokarevs just have a certain charm to them.

Early Colt Delta Elite 10mm. Wait. Nope, don't miss it. Ruger P85 I won at the SOF 3 gun in Las Vegas. Nope, don't miss that either. S&W 5906. Wait, don't really miss that one either.

Don't matter what I did or didn't keep, as they all went down in the boating accident. Yeah, I know, it's getting old!
