Misc What’s your one firearm that got away?

Whether it was because the model ceased being produced, it was OIC’d the night before or a gunpost deal that fell through.

During the Canada Post Christmas strike, I made a deal online for a Type 81. We agreed that I’d pay half upfront so the seller could hold it until the strike ended and he was able to ship it. Before the strike was resolved, the OiC came into effect, and the seller could no longer legally send me the rifle.

I’ve pre-ordered a MAKASI MK-15 to make up for the loss, but it’s still not the same.

Hopefully the seller gave you back the half you paid
