The one that got away

I’m fired no turn ring, box, papers, cleaning tools S&W model 520 N frame fixed sight .357. I made money on it at $300. Still wish I had it.

A 520 is on my want list. They were initially made for the New York State Police. Before they were going to accept them the NYSP decided to purchase the model 28 instead. I like to collect S&W revolvers with police markings. Even though this model was never issued it would be nice to have.

As to my own story I wish I could have purchased a shooter grade Colt Python a few years ago for $500. It was a few months before my 21st birthday. There was nothing I could do

A long while back, I was at the Hoopeston Gun Show looking for a Garand. I saw a mint 1865 Spencer carbine for $250. I thought I would look the rest of the gun show over and if I didn't find a Garand I would come back and buy the Spencer. When I came back to that table it was gone. Someone else had already snatched it up. I'll always regret not buying that Spencer.

I passed an unfired new in box Python for 750. Went back later and guy decided to keep it..

Nicely figured Ruger #1B in .243 win on GB.
Both sides of buttstock and forend too.

Let a Sav/Anschtuz 141M sit too long on the rack at gunshow.

Those the only two that bummed me out.
