Be it a hardship, another hobby, or something simply collecting dust... most of us have sold something that we regret selling. But how often do you get a chance at getting it back?
In 2013 I purchased a Steyr LG110. In search of the ultimate accuracy I sent it off to Allan Zasadny and told him to "give it the works". And did he ever!
At the time I was living in Hawaii. Most of my airgunning revolved around hunting wild boar, so the allure of low-powered ultimate accuracy faded rather quickly.
In 2014 I sold the Steyr to someone in Arizona, let's just call him Fred.
Fast forward to present day and I find myself living in Texas and wishing I still owned that airgun.
So, I located Fred's contact information and sent him a message that went something like this, "Hey Fred, it's Michael Wendt. Do you still have that Steyr I sold you way back when? If so, LMK what you want for it! I'd love to bring it home".
A few weeks later an LG110 (complete with the original paperwork) in nearly perfect condition arrived on my doorstep. Turns out that it was Fred's safe queen and he was happy to sell it back to me. ☺
I did a quick barrel polish with JB Bore Bright, a few pull throughs with a Patchworm and Gunzilla, wiped down the metal surfaces with VP90, and applied a touch of linseed oil on the wooden stock.
7 years later and I am totally twitterpated with my new (old) acquisition.
Well that's my story, I'd love to hear yours.
