We've all been there mate.

My biggest want back was a .50 CVA mnt pistol. One of those that was just ON. Won sooo much money at $5.00 a bet that I could hit a quartr at 25 yds. Never missed. VERY weird though at 30 yds it opened up to like a 2-3 inch group.? Young n dumb for sure. Next was a CVA Gobbler 12 ga I sold a few years ago to pay some dumb bill I forgot about when buying another something or other. If I had that back I would jug choke it and be HAPPY! Many many more but hose hurt the most. Shoulda? A .58 CVA mnt rifle at a pawn shop. Went home to get a jag and patch to assure the barrel was not bulged and 1 hr 45 min later POOF! it was gone. Guy said it had been there like 3 weeks and me and the "thief' were the only two that ever looked at it!

NEVER sells, my ROA will never be able to find another I can afford, my .58 Investarms that Pop kilt his buff with and a double 20 that I got such a good deal on I will never ever let it go, a gift from above I suppose. Several more times would have to get real tough, like my CVA Hawkin cap lock (2" group EVERY time at 90 yds. Have a new to me CVA Hawkin Flint lock have shot but once. 25 Yds and could not tell it was three shots. Started acting up and not throwing the frizzen oopenall the way and need to figure it out. If it shoots like the cap lock it stays.

the only Muzzle loader i regret selling was a SMR in .32 cal i built. being enamored with big bores i let it go. it shot like it was a laser. it was my go to for grouse. aim at the eye ball and that is where it hit.
had to be under a magic spell because i certainly can't shoot that well.
have a few regrets in the unmentionable realm. like a 1911 made 1911.

A T/C Big Boar .58. Never gave it a fair chance 'cuz it would shoot the .575213OS minies I was shooting from my repop P53 Enield.
The one that HURTS though, not a muzzleloader but still an Enfield...
Much sad...

Only three so far. A Hershel House rifle I bought at show longtime ago for next to nothing. A Soddy I really regret selling and a TOTW tulle. That gun I owned for a longtime. Never failed to fire.... Only one regret on a modern gun.

I hope it doesn’t get deleted.
Had a Remington Nylon 66C. You know what the ‘C’ is? It had a VERY rare 10 rounds clip intead of a tubular mag. EXTREMELY rare. Mohawk brown, I sold it and a Savage side by side 20g one modified barrel, one full choke, both in mint condition. $120 for both in 1991.
I needed the money more than the guns.
That still hurts.
