The Worst firearm you have owned?
« on: September 21, 2008, 08:52:18 AM »
So, what is by far the very worst firearm that in the store was awsome, you just HAD to have it, but when you got home and did some research you found it horribly unsafe and not worth what you paid for it.


Mine was this one below. RG23

I traded work for a kel~tek 9mm. Its a rediculous pos. The trigger is a joke and the mag falls out everytime you shoot unless you snug your pinky under it when shooting.

thats funny, i was looking at a a KelTec 380 when i found the above P_O_S. got this one for $99 and when i got home and did the research i shoulda done before swingin the cash i was sick to my stomach, i never had the whaybos to fire it so i traded it back in towards the Bersa i have and love.
still looking for a cheaper plinker, 380's are expensive to go plinkin with.

I had one like that and carried it on the trapline for many years, killed more critters than most see in a life time.  It also took alot of snowshoe rabits and grouse.  Most shots weren't more than 15 feet but it never failed to go off.  Just traded it off this past year for and old Stevens hammer double for a wall hanger.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

Hey Gutpule, if you still have the keltec call 'em up and have 'em send you a shipping label. IT's probably one with a plastic magazine catch--they'll upgrade/replace for free.
I left it better than I found it...did you?

I like how cheap my Ruger .10/22 is to shoot, but the darn thing jams and FTF's all the time. It would be nice if the trigger wasn't so bulky, either.

For me it was a Savage 110?   You know the ones, that were sold with a scope included???  Biggest POS I ever owned.  Out of the box it shot 10 in. groups at 100 yrds.
After a lot of work, I finally got it down to 3 in groups.  Sold that POS and bought my Browning BLR.  That gun would go into the best gun I ever owned.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I just traded some calls and a knife for one of those. It's really reliable. Way better than I expected. 15 yard pie plate too! I guess you never know!

I got a pump shotgun in trade for work once. Second round would stick BAD every single time. Loose and clunky. Would have rather taken the $100 cash!
