    Guns you wish you never sold.

    I can't be the only one that has guns he/she wishes they've had never sold...
    This is a thread to pay respect to said weapons...

    Savage .22lr, cut to legal minimum length with a gun-works can

    I regret selling my .222 Sako Vixen Varminter, and my Webley bolt action .410 shotgun.

    I had a 356 Winchester model 94 that I wish I had never sold...it came into the country as a wrongly labelled 307.

    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    OMG, back in 1994 when I lived in Palmerston North, I brought a Winchester Big Bore in .356, from a guy in Putaruru. He brought a Winchester Big Bore in .307 from the Winchester agent in Auckland, but in reality it was a .356. Wondered what was happening when the .307 ammo he was firing was printing like a shotgun!
    Turns out this .356 had been accidently put in the wrong box by the pleb in the US.

    Managed to pick up 3 boxes of .356 ammo from a gun shop in Gore. Later I got a large quantity of .307 brass and sized up in my FL die. Wish I'd never sold that rifle. A real powerhouse calibre, especially with 250gr pills.

    Mines still with the woman who bought it off me 10 years ago.

    Bitch won't sell it back to me either ........ she recons It's too nice for the likes of me.

    Funny how It's ok to keep her supplied in reloads though.

    She keeps hinting I might get it back in her will when she kicks the bucket, but seeing she's younger than me I'm not holding my breath on getting my grubby hands on it again anytime soon.

    Least it's being used and looked after.

    Cheers

    my friend has one that was a .222 but has been rebarreled to 7.62x39. such a lovely rifle. I like it more than the new CZ 527. the magizne sticking out just looks wrong. stock still looks good tho.
