FWB65. Still the pistol I shot my personal best with when I used to shoot target pistol seriously. I thought the spanking new Hammerli PCP target pistol would be better; it probably was just not better for me....

RWS Excalibre, carbine. Simple to maintain and super accurate. To this day I don't know why I sold it.

The only rifle I have regretted selling was a Theoben Fenman Profile in .20, not because of it's performance or accuracy, but it's value.
Falcon FN12 Raptor Lighthunter, lovely walnut stock.
I gave up as I wasn't shooting much and springers were ample, would go back to pcp only if I could get this gun back .... now off to weep gently at the memory of the gun I loved and my foolishness

Top tip: Unless you really, really need to sell your old mates then don't
Enjoy every day, you never know when it will be your last!
Both my skans. hw35 export i had as a teen. hw80 mk1. And a good few more.
i had a beautiful hw35eb ( iirc) , short barrel , superb walnut stock , also had a .177 standard barrel to swap over . is was my uncles rifle and he bought quality and i bought it off him and then very foolishly sold it before joining the RAF , what a mistake! not the RAF , LOL
Crikey where to start ��
Like many others I've been round the houses and back more times than I can remember
Biggest selling mistake.....hmmm
I could do a top 50 but think I'll have to do a top 5 on this one or it will get very boring
1) .177 Theoben Rapid MFR myself and marsh on here owned it umpteen times between us before it went to likom12 on here and then I lost trace really regretted that one was such a nice setup and whisper quiet with uk Neil shroud internals)
2) .177 Daystate Air Ranger can't remember who I got it from on here remember though it was a HFT shooter oop north and that ranger left everyone at my club gobsmacked with its accuracy real tact driver and don't think I've ever had another rifle with such tight groups at most ranges. Swapped it with brian747 on here for a verminator setup which was better for my needs at the time.
3) .22 Mk1 Theoben Rapid (my first one) had so many of these but this was my first one many years ago and first experience of the legendary rapid.
4) .177 Daystate Air Wolf (my first one) like the Rapid I've owned loads of air wolfs since but never quite forget your first was an early one and also was unique as it had a laser engraved wolf on the side of the stock which from memory the chap that engraved them only did a limited run of a handful examples.
Bought from likom12 on here where I also px'd a HW97k against it and then sold it on here to a chap Chester way tried to track it down many years later but the seller didn't want to sell
5) .177 AirArms S510 can't remember who I bought it from but it was virtually brand new and pristine lovely setup and enjoyed it very much it was when they first came out many years ago and I sold it on here to Peter Dunkley who lives around the corner and also started an excellent friendship. That's the good thing about the shooting community and the bbs in particular you make some very excellent friends
Wow look at that not one dark ages springer in that top 5 regret list sorry Tony L

FWB Sport 127 Mark 2. Swapped for a Sharp Innova.
Dumbass!:
The FWB had been my main hunting gun for a while. But, when I got my first '80, the Sport very much took a back seat, as the '80 (Mark 1 and Venom tuned - still own it today) was far easier to shoot accurately.
Wish I'd kept it, though.
