    I had a S&W 586 in nickel that I miss. I don't regret selling it, but I sure do miss having it. I miss a Kimber Ultra I sold earlier this year too. But, missing them is not the same as regretting selling them, so I have no regrets. Situations sometimes require doing what you don't want to do. The only time I've regretted selling a gun was a Bersa 380CC. I resolved that regret by buying another one once I had the means to.

    Some....HK93, Full auto IMI Mod. A Uzi, Vector Uzi, Nice AR's, Very nice M1D Sniper Garand, and a very nice Springfield as well.
    As I up-graded my collection, sold some, now the thing is I only own nice stuff. I've noticed it's harder to find buyers for the more expensive stuff.
    Gunbroker is my friend, I try here first, sometimes they sell, others go to gunbroker. But if I want to sell it, I usually get it sold, sometimes it just takes a little longer.
    I would like to have my HK93 back. But it does not hold a candle to a good AR, which is why I sold it in the first place.

    An older Mauser action barreled in .25-06. It was sporterized in the 60's, beautiful inlays in the stock, target irons. The rifle only weighed ~7lbs, lightweight barrel. After that I decided to never sell a gun I even thought I'd miss one day. So far so good. :dunno:

    Not really, it's almost always possible to get another one.

    They get sold for a reason. I buy to try, if they don't live up to my standards, they get replaced with something that does.

    Yep

    Had three 10/22 magnums and sold two of them. One was a beater I bought used and don't miss it at all. The other I bought new and wish I hadn't sold it. I'm just about to buy another to replace it, though. :)

    Colt Woodsman Match Target 3rd model: Had a small scratch near the pony.
    Sold because I couldn't ever find mags and really needed the $.

    Springfield Armory .45 Government: An original one that you had to build from a kit, the only way you could get them. Sold to a guy I worked with who would not leave me alone till I sold it to him.

    IMI Jericho 9mm/.41 AE: Wore the finish off this cause I carried it so much. Traded to get a real lemon that I should have never got.

    Sigh...

    I'm sure everyone here misses their assault weapons that they lost in that tragic INGO boating accident.

    I regret every day that goes by. :(

    I hold regular memorial services for them now.
    Sold them because of my wife - so I got rid of her.
    No regrets for that one - ***ch!
