Not alone Mike - in my case tho there are two sides to my story.
First off was all the 24 or so handguns that ''went'' back in '97 thx to UK Gov't cancelling my ''privelage'' to keep same. Every damn one lost was pain and anguish.
Second tho - what you refer to - what went that shouldn't have!? I relinquished just a few I regret moving on. I used to shoot comp .22 target rifle - and had a fully tricked out BSA (Martini action) MkII - that was traded when I got my first M27 - but regret its loss even tho no longer target shooting - it was simply - a superb rifle. Damn - if a mere .22lr could ever be a sniper rifle this was it!
Also moved on a simple folder .410 shotgun - single shot, not very valuable but a wonderful yard gun.
Traded a half decent K98 Mauser with .308 conversion - again not too valuable but I was crazy to lose it - it was good enough to be a deer rifle.
Most other stuff in recent years - mostly aquisition and minimal selling. Thus a good collection once more - and some :smile:
