panoma1 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 A G E Lewis, double 12, bar lock hammer gun! I had sleeved in the Bham gun trade in the seventies....I sold it a couple of years later, when money was required for other things!.......a really nice gun!.........I was recently considering buying a Billy bargain Lewis SBS BLE off wabbitbosher....but didn't give in as I realised it was only nostalgia for the past! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B725 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 My old HW 35E it was a nice gun to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Honestly I was at the top of my game back when I had that auto....it was a fantastic gun allbeit heavier than the sx3 which I've always said wasn't as nice....would love to spend a day decoying with one again to see if my thoughts have changed over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmcg Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 My first gun, was just a cheap Italian o/u, but still wish I kept hold of it. I sold it to buy a Beretta A301and ended up selling that as I couldn’t hit anything with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted July 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Possibly I tried to buy more upmarket guns and never **** as well with them either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Of the many I've sold these past few decades, two spring to mind. One was a Greener GP 12g S/B and the other, a Winchester 9410 underlever 22LR rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have traded one or two in over the years (none of which I have really regretted), but generally I have tended to 'accumulate', which is both a good and a bad thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibble Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 BSA Improved Model D air rifle with an aperture sight I found in a shed and rebuilt when I was 16. The old leather seal had a mass of BBs and old nails embedded in it It was amazingly accurate, more powerful than my mates "Tuned" Wierauchs but mainly just lovely to shoot. Got ripped off in a Flatshare and needed some money for a new deposit quickly so it had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 My old single 4 bore (& the energy to carry it)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taileron Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 Franchi Raptor 12g. Had to sell it as I was going overseas for a few years and didn’t want to pay storage fees. The guy I sold it to still has it and won’t sell it back to me. Cycles anything, fitted like a glove, never missed a beat and looked lovely.

London Best Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I think the first rule is never sell a gun you can shoot with, because you WILL regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) My Stevens savage 79. Had it years when everything else I'd sold or given away. Murdered some serious amount of foxes and rabbits with that. 🦊👍Then I thought I needed to go modern and bought a sxp. Lovely handling gun but that broke under warranty and so i now have a moss 500. Can't hit a bloody thing with it and am deciding to sell it or not Edited July 9, 2019 by strimmer_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 One of my biggest regrets is selling my Sr556. I had a aimpoint with aimpoint x3 flip to side magnifier. I loved that gun but during the last gun panic I was offered $4000 for it so it had to go. I guess in the end though I’d sell it again for that price. I can still find sr556s foresale every now and then but that one was a anniversary gift from my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 Regret selling my guns in 88, sold them expecting a woman to stay, she didnt like me going shooting/ And she cleared off just after i sold them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townie Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 AYA no 2. Traded it in for a Webley & Scott 700 which I couldn’t hit a thing with. And my Webley Senior air pistol. Cost me £5 10 shillings and I thought I was being very clever selling it for £6 a couple of years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 I owned a Winchester Wildfowl (or maybe Waterfowl ) model with the black action. It was a multi choke and had 32" barrels before they became fashionable. A beautiful gun with lovely wood.Plenty of weight, a fine clay gun. I always regretted selling it, I sold it back to the guy I bought it from, he was wiser than me. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
