    The gun I regret selling

    We all have one or two like this dont we. Put time effort and money into a gun then for some reason sell it.

    This was my TX200 Mk1 .177 in the mid to late 90s. I had it Venom tuned plus they put their straight bladed trigger on it. I added the CS800 stock. The Tasco TR 4-16 scope complemented it nicely.

    It won me a few pots on the FT circuit.

    Then in a mad moment I sold it to fund a Daystate 2000 rig, oh the madness :-(

    I wonder if it is still around?

    Daystate MK3 Sport for me.

    Awesome rifle I just didn't like charging 2 things before going shooting.

    Although I hated it, in a moment of bad judgement and rage I sold my 80's hw80 for £20 about ten years ago.

    Theoben Rapid 7/17, and a Theoben MFR .20

    If I'd kept both they would have doubled in value over what I paid for them, especially as both had Simmons WTC scopes

    Theoben sirocco classic carbine .22 although when fired it felt like being slapped in the face when new and after a service

    Nearly everyone slates the triggers but this one broke like glass.

    I blame Theoben as they tried to charge me twice for a service and I really wasn't sure I could trust them again, plus there was a very abrupt lady on the other end of the phone, who wouldn't accept I had been charged twice, yet mastercard stepped in and given the same figure appeared twice on my statement within 5 minutes of each other refunded me.

    If only Theoben had offered their rifles in gas ram or spring, I'd have had it converted and kept it.

    Probably one of the Theoben Fenman Profiles I had in. 20.
    Nah, just any of the Theoben Fenman Profiles I had.

    In fact, all the Theoben Fenmans I've had! I have none now. I am a silly boy!

    This is NOT a wanted ad! But I do want one

    For me it was my early 2000’s Air Arms S400. I’ve sold many rifles over the years and thus one was the only one I wish I’d kept.
    My collection so far - FX Impact M3, FX Wildcat Mk3, Air Arms TX200HC, Weihrauch HW95, Air Arms S400 Carbine, Weihrauch HW100KT, Crosman 2250, Daystate Redwolf

    For me it was a boxed BSA Stutzen complete with all the accessories. It was found at the back of shop that had closed down. I sent it to Welsh Willy to tune, sold it when I was a bit short of floating cash following a change of employment. Also a 1908 Lincoln Jefferies, sold following another job change and house move. I no longer had a garden large enough to shoot it, what was I thinking

    My Umarex Legends MP40, when I shot the real version on my last visit to Kharkiv and realised I no longer had the replica to play with at home
