A PH 12ga with twist barrels that I traded. I could shoot that gun reasonably well. Should have kept it.

Back in 2007 acquired a Merle’s 280-360 SEL 28 ga 410 bore with straight grip and gorgeous wood in an aluminum Merle’s travel case. It was U.N.fired and came to me for a gentleman’s bet payment. Daughter was getting married so it went soon after it came. Wish I’d kept it but such is life

I have no such regrets. You have to sell them to have regrets about it. With one exception, I haven't. And, no regrets about that one.

Ditto. Maybe I should sell some but then the potential for sellers remorse is high. Let the kids sort it out at the end I guess.

I had forgotten I sold a circa 1906 Marlin 1893 32-40 with a half round half octagon barrel on GB a few years back . Guy in the UK bought it . That was the only 32-40 I've ever owned sometimes I think I'd like that one back .

Traded a Colt single action Army 2nd generation I bought new when I got out of the Army in 1971 for an Ithaca Mag 10 for goose hunting. Don't miss the Mag 10 but do miss the Colt. Paid $165 for the Colt

106312 , O Frame 28 Gauge DH Grade with Original 25" Barrels according to TPS it is the only 25" D Grade, 28 Gauge with 25" Barrels ! Like a Dummy ,I used it as a partial trade on a Parker 410 which I love but ...... ! Live and learn , when I made the deal I thought well it is an O Frame and I already have a OO Frame so that's what I did but I have regretted it since , I shot that gun better than any 28 Gauge I have owned !

There has been a few Guns I have regretted selling. Probably the one I
Miss the Most was the first centerfire rifle I bought with my own money. It
Was A Remington model 722 in 222 Magnum.
I have never found a rifle that I instinctively shot so well.

The gun I regret selling the most was a 0 frame 16ga GH Damascus from 1900 that was in almost new condition.
I made the mistake of taking it out on the opening day of dove season at farm that hosted a big event for the opener attended by by a bunch of hard core double gun collectors.
One of them hounded me for weeks, he finally made an offer I couldn’t refuse but should have.
