Moderators Tackle Posted February 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2020 We've all got a wish list of the guns we want but don't have, either cos they're too expensive or rare as rocking horse shit, or sometimes a bit of both ?. But what about the guns we've owned, then in a moment of madness sold, only to regret later, & would buy back in a heartbeat. Mine was my Star FNC para, all metal with an excellent burst mode, no fancy ris etc, just old skool goodness, think Al Pacino in Heat, I miss that baby sooo much. Â Whats yours ???

Iceni Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 A few years ago my shooting partner sold his King Arms L1A1. Instant regret for him. He did manage to get it back after a couple of weeks as the piston stripped and the buyer wanted it repaired. So he offered a refund instead.

Cromulon1994 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I sold my TM spas 12 with stock, regretted that almost instantly. Then sold another spas 12 I'd later acquired with stock when I had a big car bill. Managed to get it back yesterday though.  And an escort MP5 that I bought as new old stock from redwolf in 2013. About 160 quid. Couldn't believe how lucky I got with that, it worked perfectly. Shits all over a WE apache imo. Externally not as good but it shot so much better. Got made redundant so it got sold.      Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveocee Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Daft as it sounds, I sold my Ares CCP last year. Wish I hadn't and had held on to it and spent more pennies on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerDer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 King Arms FN FAL from a few years, offloaded it to a friend who made a DMR. Looking forward to the re-release this year. Planning on picking one up, intend on just adding  a canvas sling to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dentonboy Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 TM Spas 12 stock. Should have kept it but made a nice profit. Â I regret NOT buying a TK VP70 when I was offered on on a plate. I also regret not buying a replica set of USMC T-Pattern bdus. Â My dad sold on a KA L1A1 and my brother sold on his G&P Stubby Killer at prices that would seem overly generous now. Â My main regrets are Crye pieces I sold on for a profit but should have kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether airsoft, cars, motorbikes, rc stuff, whatever. It's always up for a trade or something. I think the only thing I've genuinely decided is staying, and has no price, is the Guzzi.  I've been playing 7 years and I'm heading for 150 rifs. Currently only own 8. But wanting to sell 2 or 3. I always come to the same conclusion, I play cqb and I like a shotgun and a revolver.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I sold my TM SPAS 12 with folding stock for £50 years ago. Doh.  I also miss the PTW retro carbine I made... though I don't miss the shocking reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody100 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 TM M4, the socom variant if I recall (it was decades back. One of the larger retailers had a massive stall at the war and peace show in Kent (pre UKARA) and I couldn’t seem to resist it. Wouldn’t mind having that back now!

Might be a bit in either direction depending on shop selling it. Basing that figure on previous prices of the FAL series and what the cost was of KA's re-release of the Galil range (2019). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've kept it for 6 years now in the hope that i might finally get another one again ahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
