Traded with a police department to get an HK PSG1, a genuine one, not the one made from a 91. Will never get that opportunity again. That rifle was the most accurate semi I ever saw. Also, had a Portuguese AR-10 that I'll never be able to find again. Pistol-wise, I'll never be able to replace the Bren 10 I had. Ah, the foolishness when being younger.
Ruger single six 22 lr. Had the. 22 mag cylinder, 5 1/2 in barrel. Paid 225.00 for it sold for 250.00 can't believe what they cost now. Really should have kept that gun as I still love single action revolvers and the Rough Rider just doesn't compare.
Forty years ago picked up a 45-70 Model 1884 in a Louisiana pool hall. It had never been used. Still had machine shop shavings inside the lock from when it had been built. The moving parts, lock, windage adjustment screw threads, everything still had zero wear on the blueing. Paid a hundred dollars for it.
I didn't sell it but it disappeared.

One or two I wouldn't mind still having, but I don't regret most of the ones I've sold, fortunately.
I got a 3" Smith & Wesson Model 10 from a member here. At the time I was grabbing up any cheap K-frame I could find, and really had no business doing so. I couldn't really afford it, I had no money in the bank. I ended up selling in when my brother borrowed my then girlfriend's keys to use her car to give his a jump. He didn't connect the cables in the proper fashion, and then her car wouldn't start. The repair bill was nearly $400, and he refused to pay it. She threatened to take him to small claims Court - and I believe she would have, she was not one to be trifled with. I sold the gun, paid the repair bill and kept the peace.
Second is a 2.5" Smith & Wesson Model 19-6. That was a nice gun. I had wanted one for over a decade when I got that. Not the most collectible variant, but that wasn't the point. It was still a FINE revolver, and I loved shooting it. Again, I had more guns than I could truly afford, and wasn't saving money like I should have been. When push came to shove, I needed (what felt like at the time) a BIG down payment for a house I was going to rent. I had just started getting some money saved after working 2 jobs for over a year and couldn't swallow the idea of taking the money I had worked so hard to save and turning around and spending it all while I had a safe full of guns. The Smith was sold, the house was mine.
Thank you for your indulgence.

Now I'm going to have to go look and see if I have my Gen 1 stock in the basement in a box. Which if I do, you're welcome to. I had to upgrade because the magwell was too scuffed to drop a mag.
So a little dremmel work and your good.

Over the years, I've let a few slip through my fingers that I wish I hadn't.
A chinese SKS I payed $99 for and sold for $200 a few years later. I never really liked the gun, I just wish I held my n tI it longer so I could have made more on it when it sold.
A Star FA Target. A great .22 pistol that I didn't realize at the time was as good as I was. I rarely see them offered anymore and when I do they are going for a lot more than I gave back then.
I really regret selling the MAS Model 45 .22LR trainer. I bought it for $100 from Loganspor Shooters Supply sometime in 1986 with a sling and three magazines. A few months later I saw them being offered in Shotgun News for twice that. I can't remember what I sold it for but I know it was a whole lot less than what one goes for now.

I have more than a few regrets....mostly due to being a young kid that couldn't decide what I wanted and couldn't afford not to sell something in order to buy something else.
-Ruger M77 .223 stainless with boat paddle stock
-Early Ruger P345
-CZ 527 Carbine .223
-Ruger Security Six (the 2nd handgun I ever owned)
- A Gorgeous 12ga Ithaca 37 with a 20" smooth bore slug barrel
That's all I care to think of right now...

1. My 870 Special Field 20 ga (the first one I had). Nothing great wood wise, but fixed Mod choke 21" killed a lot of stuff, some crazy shots too.
2. Smith 629-3 6". Good all around range/hunting gun.
3. First Ruger #1. It needed a new bbl after a good decade of use, didn't have the coin to get it redone way back. Could have been a cool project now.
Not really bummed they're gone, had many others since. But they were good and purchased at reasonable price.
To replace them now, eh they just want too much for the "old good" stuff.

At least you’ve got better about letting your friends know when you’re letting go of something!!
