We've all had one get away from us I'm sure, and no, I'm not referring to women either :p

A couple years back TSE posted these babies for sale and I thought their asking price was a bit too high so I past on the nicest K11 I have ever seen! I saved the picture and stumbled onto it recently only to realize how stupid of me it was not to buy it! The one in the middle was just calling my name!

So...who else let one slip past them?
 
have some swiss chocolate :D as for me I called too late for a No4Mk1 with canvas bag and bayonet for 150$. SOO ANGRY AT MYSELF!
 
If it makes you feel any better, we've all done the same thing in the past.
 
For me it has been the last table at the gun show experience...totally out of money after buying all sorts of bitz and pieces, and I'm about to walk out only to see a real heart breaker for sale that wasn't on the table when I passed by before...sigh. :(
 
For me a Longbranch with matching bayo, Could not see spending $250 at the time...

Besides it was full of grease and could not tell the condition...
 
I missed a very nice and well peiced Garand in the EE forums by 1 minute because I was too busy focusing on a 3500 word essay I had due the next morning.
 
I let a few EAL military models go by becuase I didn't know what they were at the time. They went through Trail Firearms in Edmonton so they are likely still in the area.
 
I rather stupidly missed out on a very nice 1915 London Small Arms SMLE Mark III with original Lattey sights. It was $350.

Do you mind if I humiliate myself in public a little more? That must have been a case of record stupidity, and it's all mine!
 
Just yesterday or the day before I was admiring Steveo's FR8 for a mere 225$ shipped in the EE :)

When I finally got back to CGN it was already sold :( I can't believe I missed it :eek:

I always wanted one, I find they look nice. Must be the fake semi-gastube-looking job under the barrel, and the flash hider that does it, I don't know...

I believe it's for the cleaning kit. Damn, if I knew it was listed too cheaply, I'd have cranked the price up!;) They're certainly handy little rifles.

I just wanted to get back what I paid for it. I've got a AIA No4Mk4 coming to shoot up my 7.62 Nato in.:dancingbanana:

Every time I see an Indian FAL, I kick myself. I could have got my 12(5) and years of enjoyment for a low, low $99.:mad:

1941 Johnson, not one not two but three of them for about $300 each. Mind you that was a good 12-15 or so years ago but...................

Not sure it was way underpriced, but lets say it seemed fair :D But anyway my other half would have probably vetoed the purchase anyway :mad:

I will have to sneak one into the safe some day :)
 
1911 Colt in British .455 Cal. made in Quebec. Waited a day too long..still have moments of deep regret over that one,
