The one you wouldn't sell.................

Lots of guns I would be hesitant to sell and would bother me.The last one to go would be my Colt lightweight commander in 38 super.
 
Just one.

Heritage Rough Rider .22 Convertible.

It was an impulse buy Christmas 2016 for Mrs. to use. They were on super sale She loved the "cowboy" guns. I bought an SR22 previously for her to use as well, but she really loved the revolver. Whenever the subject of shooting came up, she would show off a picture of it that she kept on her phone. When comparing the two, she would point to the revolver and a say, "now that's a gun!, LOL. Purely sentimental, but you really would have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

The rest are all for sale for the right price. In the same class as @Jerzsubbie said about his. In fact I am thinking about which ones to list on Armslist for you guys to ridicule.

i have several i wouldnt part with

franchi al 48....my grandpa gifted it to me during the middle of a pheasant hunt in Iowa....he had given me his old one and he had gotten a new one...missed the first two birds that got up that day and grabbed the old one from me and told me i could have the new one....I was 16 at the time and have taken a ton of upland game with it since.

Hi-standard model B....it was the gun my other grandpa used to carry under the seat of his truck. before his memory was completely gone him and my grandma had me come over early on christmas and he gave it to me and told me it was mine....9 months later he was in a nursing home and didnt remember who i was.



a ton more that i received as gifts from my parents and my wife likes to buy me guns but those are the last two i would let leave this house

If you rule out sentimental ones ALL of mine are for sale @ the right price. For sentimental guns , Remington 550-1 my first gun given to me by my Dad on my 6th birthday, Smith and Wesson 916 12ga my wife gave me for our 1st anniversary, Wilson Combat Supergrade 1911 my wife gave me just because she loves me for some reason.
 
Break action 20 gauge I got from my uncle on my 10th bday and 30-30 model 94 my dad handed down to me that I shot my first deer with. Lost all the others on a 3 hour tour on the S.S. Minnow.
 
The only one I wouldn't get rid of, other that absolute necessity, is an old Stevens SxS in 20 gauge that my Dad gave to me. I'll pass it down to my favorite nephew one day.

Dad always said…

”With the exception of my family, everything I have is for sale”.

He later demonstrated there weren’t exceptions.
 
My first BST at that forum where the core group here came from was grandad’s 1928 LC Smith side by side. 16 ga. “Fieldgrade”.
Yep. I’ll sell anything.DSCN0261.JPG

I’ve got a lot of family “memorabilia". Can’t keep it all. They were all new guns at one time. If it had survived the Alamo I mighta kept it.

The one gun I would have kept, probably, was his bring-back 1911 from 1918. It was stolen in Fayetteville in a burglary in the 60’s.

This is all that’s left of that.

I'm sure I would hold onto one similar to that just to pull out and fondle occasionally. Hell, I have an old Spencer carbine a widow lady at church gave me 20 years ago for helping her around the house. It came from her husbands side of the family and they had stories back to the civil war of their family members that owned it. I now feel I'm the caretaker and will pass it on to my family with the stories told. I got the P38 above from the same lady and it came from her husbands family as well.

I'm just stuck with the sentimental gene that if left unchecked, can easily turn into the hoarder gene. Just ask my wife...
 
If the right circumstances come, I'd probably sell all/any of mine and try to rebuild later. Grandpa's old model 10 heavy barrel would be the last to go though.
 
Mine are all boring tools or toys, would sell any if the price is right.

Sentimentally the last one out the door would be the first one I bought all by myself. G23. I was the coolest kid on the block in '92 with my spankin' new plastic 40 cal Glock. No one knew what to make of it. Now.... no one wants to admit to owning one. :)
 
Not considering those with sentimental value....

My S&W TRR8. I have never had a revolver shoot like that gun. I don't like the lock. Lots of people don't like the lock. Or MIM. But, I can't argue with a revolver that I can hit a 4" plate at 50 yards double action nearly every time. 25 yards or less? Forget about it. I never thought a "lock" gun would be my go-to full-sized carry revolver. But, here we are.

Bought it from a forum member here, too!
 
If I hadn't lost them all in a boating accident, I'd be hard pressed to part with a single one of them.
 
Whether or not I sell anything is always situation dependent. If the SHTF occurs...... I may make exceptions about selling that I otherwise would not in a time of prosperity.
 
The 30-30 bolt action my Mom bought me for my 1st ever hunting trip(deer). No deer that year.

The S&W model 28 in .357magnum, the 1st handgun I ever bought.

My Coonan.357 semi-auto

The Glock model 40(10mm), first gun my new bride bought me for our first Christmas. 2015.

Really not very many of them. I have been thinking of selling my XDs and replacing a couple of them with Glocks.
 
My grandfather’s 1949 Winchester Model 61 & his 12ga SxS

I’ve told my wife not to sell my Les Baer Premier II unless my boys or her don’t want it but hell I won’t be around to have a say but will haunt her if she does 😂
 
Ruger Bisley Super Blackhawk Hunter in .41 Mag. It was a grail gun for me for years, I love the balance & handling, it's soft shooting, accurate & just plain fun.

Ruger Single Ten. Maybe my favorite pistol. Accurate & fun.
 
Circa 1959 Marlin 39
1939 Model 12 Winchester
CZ 452 American 17 Mach2
Ruger Super Blackhawk 10 1/2” bbl w/ vent rib
Colt Series 70 1911
 
3 revolvers and one rifle.First is my S&W model 19-3 blued 4 in. Early 70's gun bought when I was 21brand new .Next is a S&W model 29-2 nickel 6 1/2 in with Factory smooth Brazilian rosewood target stocks in wooden presentation box. Mid 70's gun. Next is a mid 70's 6 in blued Colt Python that my best friend sold me . It belonged to his dad. Shot one box of 38 wadcutters in his basement into a bail of hay.He made me promise to keep it .If I ever decided to sell it I'd have to sell it back to him for the same $280 that I paid him for it . Last but not least same friend gifter me his Winchester Garand..My friend died nearly 20 years ago so now I say These are the guns that I will never part with for any reason. I turned Down $3500 for the Colt and $2200 for the Garand. That was over 10 years ago.

I've got a bunch of guns that I wouldn't sell that hold sentimental value but little monetary value. However I do have one gun that I'll never get rid of due to my love for it. Sig 522 SWAT, cant describe how fun, dependable and accurate it is. Everyone that shoots it falls in love. Sold it once when the wife was in nursing school and paid alot more for it to buy it back after realizing they weren't made anymore. Would actually love to buy a couple more of them. I guess it's getting in the sentimental value world due to all the memories with it with the kids and friends ds/family.
 
Sold to strangers or gave away to other family members every “family” gun. They were all just new guns at one time or another.

I like having late model blasters.

I’ve got a couple, a Western Auto Glenfield .22 auto that’s a POS, but was my first gun ever, my Grandfather’s old Stevens Dreadnought 12 gu, my Dad’s Colt SAA, and my Sears Ted Williams Winchester 12 gau pump shotgun, first new gun dad ever got me.
 
A Winchester 16 gauge single shot shotgun. My mother gave me the gun and said "You carry his name and you can carry his gun." The name she refered to was that of her grandfather. Her dad and granddad both carried the same name.

The shot gun is old. So old it doesn't have a serial number on it. There is a chip missing from the stock where it joins the receiver.

Others in my possession don't carry much sentimental value. That shotgun is a different story. When it comes time to pass it onto another family member, I will be hard pressed to come up with someone worthy of caring for it. My eldest grandson, maybe. I just don't know.
