I’ve never sold any.

I buy them when I can, from private sellers.

Got a full gun safe and lots of ammo!

All of them. You see I sold all my guns several years ago, shortly before the state-wide “universal” background check infringement went into effect - which would have required me to document each private sale and get a background check on each buyer... Oddly enough, I didn’t keep any records of who I sold them to and gee, there won’t be any records at the local gun store since no background checks were done... ;-/

Yea, had a tubular magazine that only held a few rounds (5 or 6), but was a sweet shooting lil carbine.

Traded it for a Dan Wesson .357 with interchangeable barrels. I had a real love hate thang with that pistol. lol

Mine had the tube mag too.
Light, hard hitting, a great deer gun for the kind
of hunting we did.

That is almost as bad as losing them all in a tragic boating accident!

I sold a .22 rifle with scope at K-Mart new for $30. I sold it at a garage sale for $30. This was around 1980ish.

I have two .22’s with scopes now. I don’t wish I still had it. I will probably sell one of them since it is pretty old and the other is the Ruger 10-22 I inherited last summer.

I rarely sell ANYTHING unless I need the money or I’m upgrading. I’m even having a hard time parting with the .380 I bought for my wife and now carry in my car because she doesn’t like it.

Marlin 336cb in 38-55 with aftermarket tang sight. That rifle provided many hours of range fun and reloading pleasantness…I really miss it!
