Worst gun?
Mossberg 590 DA1 20" 9rd I like it because when I let someone shoot it, everybody hands it back to me and says "Somthings wrong with it, it won't shoot". Why? Because unlike most shotguns that have a very short, quick and light trigger pull. This shotgun has a double action trigger that travels about a full 1 inch long and gets heavier through the pull. I have kept it for sentimental reasons. But the longer I keep it, the more I see the benefits of this trigger. The trigger is sort of like an extra safety, as it fools everyone. I doubt I will ever be able to sell it anyway. |

Raven Mp25 although it has never jammed once.

Rock Island Armory m206. It's a sorta copy of a Colt Detective Special, some of it is actually upgraded to be closer to more modern Colt revolvers. The trigger guard is a weird mess and it (at least mine) won't fit holsters for a Colt detective special. I suspect they import the revolvers as 4" model and it was cut down here in the US. I e mailed with a photo but got no response from RIA. It does shoot fine though. It's some kinda mystery alloy so I wouldn't run 1000 rounds of +p through it View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

My lowest quality gun is probably my jericho 941. I don't really buy crappy guns and if i don't shoot something for a year it gets sold. So this is the next on my chopping block.

Vulcan .50 BMG
Only about 20 rds through it and then I started hearing about how bad/dangerous they are. It's sat in a corner for the past couple-three years. I'd sell it, but have qualms about how I'd feel if it kaboomed on a new owner. |

I'll gladly take the crapy Japanese type 94 of your hands. Will $20 do it.
I have the same pistol op has. Sucks at best. |

My 10/22. Not that it is a bad gun, but I bought it used and it only had aftermarket mags that suck. I've had a lot of ftf with this particular one. Its the shitty plastic stock with a stainless barrel. I bought it thinking I would restock it maybe rebarrel it, but it never happened. I just find it uninteresting and not exciting enough to put money into. I am thinking of selling it and buying a lever action 22. View Quote I just bought the contest winner 50th anniversary model and though I like its features, I'm not too impressed. I have some SR-25 mags (bought them in early '13). With the one I took to the range this morning, in loading it (4) different times, I couldn't get it to run 25 rds. through it w/o a FTE/jam. I'll probably post a range report in the Armory 10/22 section. It worked fine with the 10 rd. mag. Yes, I used (2) different types of ammo. 40 gr. Cu plated Win. Super-X and the 40 gr. Cu plated CCI Mini-mags. |

Stainless Ranch Rifle 100% reliable but wouldn't hold a 14" group at 50 yds . Ruger claimed it was ok
Ruger P85 - 100% reliable with a nasty trigger that keeps you from hitting most anything Ruger Police carbine that was 100% but had about a 12lb trigger These were all brand new factory guns - see a trend here? Charter arms stainless bulldog 44 special. Trigger would hang up . two trips to the factory and it still had the problem All of these were traded off except for the P85 I have a couple of Moisen Nagants that are poor examples in rough shape that were heavily abused but they are still way more accurate than the ranch rifle or the police carbine |

Ive got some real pos gun on trade before, several hipoints, lorcins, RG, etc.
The shittiest decent gun ive owned was a Savage 17HM2. the best groups i could get was 4" at 25 yards I tried many diffrent scopes, ammo, made sure everything was tight etc. |
|
I've got a J22. Never any issues with it when I was shooting it/carrying it.
But the most unreliable handgun I've ever owned is My M&P FS 9MM, followed by the M&P .357 SIG. Failures to fire. Keyholing bullets. Gave up on them and went to CZ's. Very nice, reliable and accurate. |

Not sure I have a junk gun, all are in pretty good shape and function well.

Quoted: I've got the Jimenez version if that. It actually isn't too bad. It functions well with the right ammo and its easy to hide.

I guess my Stoeger Cougar is the worst of the ones I have. The safety/decocker lever on it is a terrible design. Hard to unsafe from a shooting grip and impossible to safe from shooting grip. Plus it's guaranteed to stove pipe an average of one round per magazine with no discernable pattern/cause. I like to use it for our local BSC events though 'cause it gives me built-in random malfunction handling practice. :-)

Keltec PF-9. Total peace of shit. It usually fails to fire every 3rd round or so. All types of ammo. I don't care enough about it to go through the hassle sending it back. Last Keltec I will ever buy.

I had a Llama 45 . I really tried to like it as it came from my late brother. He never shot it cause it sucked so bad. He gave it to me to get it out of the house before he passed. He instructed me to sell it if anyone would buy it. I took it to Scheels to trade in on a 870 hoping to get maybe $50 or $60 on trade. They said they were sorry but could only give me $150 trade value. I like to think he is still smiling about my deal. That gun could not go one magazine without multiple no fire or no feed, I tried to have a couple different smiths look at it. They would not touch it.

Romanian PSL.
pile of crap, over gassed, excessive headspace, slight bend in the receiver, side rail for scopes not available in the US (I tried every kind I could find, none would fit) after I fixed the head space, it stopped blowing out the primers, but it was still kinda funky because the barrel didn't sit true to the trunnion, it wobbled around. so after pinning it I had to spot weld it. after I installed a TWS dog leg to get some kind of scope on there, it decides it will not eject correctly with that cover and doubles/ stovepipes, all sorts of shit, I don't blame the dog leg though, the rifle should eject fine it choses not to. wall hanger pile of crap. I could have had a nice rifle for the money and time I have in that piece of shit. I won't even sell it, too dangerous. plug the barrel and stick it on the wall. basically at this point the only stuff on there worth keeping would be the rear trunnion, trigger group, furniture and TWS dog leg. and it sucks because the damn thing does look cool as shit, and when it did shoot, seemed to be pretty accurate. |

I only have a Mossberg 500 and a half finished AR. So both, kind of.

91/30 that had such a badly out of round chamber it would egg steel cases to the point you'd have to kick the bolt HARD to open it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile Going with the 91/30 here as well. Here too. A 1944 production model with a trigger pull that must be 18-20 pounds. It's ridiculous war time crude manufacturing, and that's why I bought it. |

I took a Llama 1911 on trade and I have $0.00 in the gun. The barrel bushing is worn out and it is not worth the $14 for a new one. It is the only gun I own but never fired.

Had a Taurus PT-22 someone gave me. Worked OK but traded it away. Shittiest thing I own is one of those Romanian 22 bolt action trainers. For $40 it isn't a bad piece of shit.
