    I only ever had a fenman and a Taunus. Most accurate .22 I ever had.

    Regret

    In theory all of them, but top of my list is my FT Ripley AR 4 with custom hand carved stock by Geoff Miller.

    I sold that in the 90's and I can't remember who to, I should have kept that, without a doubt.
    I'd go mad, if I didn't have the devil on my shoulder to talk to.

    Nothing too glamorous, but I bought a BSA Superstar .22 when they first came out, it was the first rifle I bought myself, loved it. Flogged it for sweeties when skint between jobs.

    Wow, that must hurt to think about. Not only for the obvious financial return but also because the gun is an iconic part of Airgun history.

    The Mach 1 was the break barrel rifle with the barrel latch I believe (similar to Walther BB latch system).

    I love the Mach2 but I'm a break barrel man & would love to have shot a Mach1. I had a full Lazaglide HW80 & that was sweet so heaven knows what the Mach1 was like to shoot.

    My biggest regret, sale wise was my Theoben Fenman. I had to sell it (family finances) but it still bugs me to this day. Luckily I recently bought another & it's every bit as good as I remember.

    A Gamo 440 Hunter with gas ram fitted and barrel shortened, the stock had the cheek piece cut out , I sold it on this forum I think years ago but cannot remember who ? If you have it and read this I’ll buy it back off you with a drink on top if interested.

    The one I miss the most is my theoben MFR in 0.177cal. Back then Martin at Theoben worked his magic on it and it was awesome.

    Reading through this thread I'm glad I've never sold a gun --- it sounds like a painful experience with years of regret and sleepless nights afterwards.


    All the best Mick

    Yes it was really. Not many fakes around of these, unless someone knows different?

    It was sold in 1997 to fund my house purchase.

    Daystate Mk4, the non screen one , in an adjustable ginb stock. I had heard that a replacement was coming, so I sold early, thinking the price might drop with a new replacement which was the pug ugly appalling pulsar, now my guns are Weihrauch!

    Unhappy

    Sold my S410 that would knock nettle stems down at 40yds..

    With a Nitesite viper, and all the jazz for £450 so we could have spends at Disneyland.

    If it’s about I’d take it back in a heartbeat.
