RE: Guns you've gotten rid of, Why you did it, and regrets.
Red Lion..I know exactly what you are talking about. I had a Savage 22/410 when I was akid, traded it for a SXS 12 ga. Just recently bought a Stevens in nice shape to replace it, 45 yrs. later. Had to hunt hard to find a nice one.
Most all guns that I have gotten rid of were used to trade up for something else. Gotta admit, I do wish I had most of them back, too.
