I've had a lot of guns that I wish I could have kept. Had a Winchester M-21 one of the original 410's(of 73) Wanted to keep it but I made 11000 bucks on it. Was trying to get the farm back east paid for so that took a very large chunk out of the mortgage. One of the guns I really wanted to keep was a 5 gun skeet set of Win m-12's and the 42 of course. All made for one man way back yonder. His son traded them to me even up for a matched pair of 1100 Remingtons...back in 1969. They paid a lot on the mortgage too. Most of the martial guns I've had went to pay the mortgage too. Only two left. plus a barreled action. 1903A3 with milled guard bent swept bolt. Sniper version. Was given to me by a WWII marine fighter pilot...just before he died. He told me he got it from a mud marine in the South Pacific... late 1944 early 45. Not sure it has ever been shot. Wish I had the stock too. Don't know what he did with it. Wasn't in all his shootin stuff when he died. I sold it all for his widow. I do wish I had kept that Hall though. Really unique piece and all original with bayonet. Only reason I haven't sold the Ithaca NID 28 ga in grade 4E is cause the mortgae is paid!!
They only made 7 of them. And I really lucked into that one.
