Guns and Ammo will one day be better than Gold.
Over 51yrs all my guns where bought for a purpose. A .22 bolt for plinking, 12ga for goose hunting, .270 for deer, taurus judge for snakes, ruger 57 for winter ccw, ect. Getting older, grandkids not interested in shooting sports. Now thinning the herd, selling 4, buying 1 special firearm. Safe is getting manageable, room for a reproduction rolling block. Can't decide 45lc or .357. And the hunt continues.
pass mine on for about what i pay for them.. buy something else that interests me. never been about money !!you hungry ill give you 1/2 my sandwich never really had money so it doesn't bother me!

What ever the reason I always regret it
I have the same in .308 and just got a 6.5 creedmore. Axis II SR in FDE
I can’t think of an instance where I sold to do other than buy other firearms.
In fact right now I want a new Ruger-made Marlin and a 39 or 39a. My mind keeps thinking about a Marlin 1893 in 32-40 with a Special order half-Octagon half-Round barrel that might find its way to the block.
That would fund most if not all of one of those two. But I’d likely have to resort to Gunbroker.

I like to have a primary and a backup of most if not all types or purposes. The chances that the primary will break and I can't get parts is low unless guns and parts become scarce,or we reach the zombie apocalypse (which is always looming). So I figure having at least 1 deep of at least some kinds for insurance is worth it. I don't buy the EXACT same though, but something for the same purpose that is similar and handles the same...sometimes same brand, sometimes not. In a perfect world I'd have two of everything of the EXACT same, same sights, optics, etc. But that takes discipline and money to get there so I just do the best I can.
Yeah, we've all been hearing that since the 90's and it isn't wrong, and I'm glad we haven't reached the point of that because then we will have a lot of other problems...but YES, in many ways guns and ammo are an insurance policy. I recall some guy on here recently saying he'd be passing out cheap AR's in his neighborhood if we were ever WORL.
Yeah...I sold an LCR and later regretted, but through continuing to be honest with myself and knowing I won't live forever (on the earth), I made peace with the decision. I am not a huge revolver fan and didn't want to stock 38spl ammo anyway. But another more recent sale went to a guy who was very happy to get it and it was ecatly what he had been wanting...I know that if we ever reached WORL, that I would not be holing that one so it was just a novelty for me and taking up room in the safe. But now I have others that I'm torn between saving for in case I change my mind, or just letting go now. I did the same with several rare cars and watercraft...I just can't store and project all of them no matter how special. Guns are the same in some ways.
