Hind sight my friend, hind sight. We've all made bad trades.

I had a Win M1894 in 32 Special I traded off, a pristine 300 Savage I never even fired and I sold a Williams Evans double rifle made in 1898 chambered in 450/400 3 1/4 Nitro Express for $5500. This was the year before the market for doubles in that caliber exploded. I can get $20K out of that double today if I still had it.

On a positive note though, I still have my Mannlicher Schoenauer Model 1903 in 6.5x54MS that I bought for $315. But I still kick myself for passing on a 1903 in 8x68. That one haunts me since they only made a few of those and I'll probably never find another one.

Gun trades, Ya either love them or hate them but you'll always remember some of them.
