Guns you wish you had kept

Doggone if this don't just about bring on a tear or two:

Taurus model 66 357 magnum - most reliable revolver I ever owned

A.H. Fox Sterlingworth 16 gauge double barrel - great grand daddy's quail gun

M1 Garand - I needed money for a transmission

Japanese Arisaka model 99 - same reason as above - I was just startin' my WWII collection, but transportation needs weighed more heavily. Too bad I'm so darn practicle!

There was a time that I carried a 4 inch blue Colt Python(it was made in the late 70's). The action was smooth as silk and to my memory you could see yourself in the deep blue finish.
Then came the 1980's, and I like the rest of the world switched to a "wonder-nine". Some Glock that is now long gone and forgotten replaced that Python on my hip. Now I would trade a sack full of Glocks to have that Python back!!!

After the military I went a little stupid and sold a 30 30 Winchester.
Later I sold a 7x57 Mauser.
Now, choose one; I have too much or you can never have enough, but will not sell.

Smith and Wesson M625-5 .45 Colt five inch lugged barrel. Bought it in 1993 and sold it in 1994.

None. I've got every gun I've ever owned. I need a bigger safe.

While I was busy being a stupid punk (criminal) in an adult body my lawyer wound up with:
My first UZI
first HK VP70Z
Thompson
AMT Hardballer
Ruger 10-22
sawed off H&R 12 Ga

There were others, but I have finally forgotten the rest

A Browning (I think) Model 81 BLR .308 with a Redfield (back when they were REALLY Redfields) 3-9x50 scope. Kicked like a large mad mule but was dead nuts on at 200 yd.

My Grandfathers Model 1897 12 Ga. and S&W .32 3" top break pistol to buy dive gear! What an idiot!!
