When I was lowly late life college student and had a wife that liked to spend all my money, I sold all my guns to help fund several semesters of school...that was in the early 80's and now as a middle aged adult, I'm trying to get back what I sold.

This was step one. Colt King Cobra in .357 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. The pictures are the condition the gun arrived in and it looks better with a little TLC. It shoots like a dream and the action is like a Swiss watch.

So, I'm still looking for a Python and a Diamondback. Keep your fingers crossed.

UPDATE!!!!![color:"red"] I scored my Anaconda in .44 Magnum 5 minutes ago! [/color] Here it is...waiting to be delivered!

Congrats on the scrore and to getting back whats yours

Thanks Brother! I'm so excited!

The sacrifice to pay for school apparently paid off. Good luck on your quest!

Very cool. A classic wheel gun for sure.

I sold my Benelli M-1 Super 90 years ago. I regretted it immediately, but needed the cash. About a year later I went back in the store and mentioned that I missed it to the owner. He still had it and sold it back to me for what he paid me for it. He had kept it for himself because the serial number matched his Sig 220. He was a super nice guy and I mean a really super nice guy.

Talk about luck! Man, I can't believe he didn't try to gouge you when he sold it back to you! I'm glad for you Ted!

These aren't my originals <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> but they may be better than the originals since I've thought about them for so long!

Congrats picking those snakes up. I Have a few things I've sold that I will someday get back.

Nice gun and it is nice you are able to start rebuilding your collection

Nice!

I would love to get an old wheel gun, maybe something to go with my marlin 44 mag carbine

I have a stainless 5 shot S&W mod 60 3 inch barrel that I have only shot once. BUT I will keep it, .357 is good for snakes and it's a good carry gun as well. I also have sold many guns that I have later regretted <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />, but... Oh well.
