HKS speed loader for my 45.
Its quality is a joke, and its all plastic, so the joints just flop back and forth. Sloppy shit. Ordered it online for like 8 bucks.
O well

Carry handle mounted dot sight. Need to get one of those gooseneck thingies...

You call hks speedloaders useless? I have to disagree. I recently went to the range and forgot my speedloader for my P226. After loading 200 rounds, taking three times the normal time, my thumbs were dead.

They aren't the sturdiest things in the world, but they sure do work, and if they break, its only 8 bucks for a replacement. I've loaded a few thousand rounds with mine, no problems.

My left pinky!! Anyone want to buy it???

Actually, the Bi-pod is just the most recent thing I've shitcanned. It's really #3 on the list.

This is #2

And it's been so long, I almost forgot about #1, the B-Square B-Junk HK 91 scope mount that is at the bottom of the river (sorry, no pic)

My ARMS #2 mount.

im suprised to se harris up thier so many times. i really loved mine, the rifle was shit though.

as for uselessness, GAT trigger. i bought it just to say i had one, its a hunk of shit. my mag cinch is kinda usless, but its fun.

I'll take those useless Harris bipods off your hands, Snipers.

They'll come in handy holding up my urban SharpShooter...it'll be parked a lot.

Let me have one of those useless Harris bi-pods,I'll even pay the shipping!

Well, it's true, "one mans trash is another mans treasure"

It's not that it was junk, just outgrew it, so it becomes useless, right?

I guess I can add the RCBS primer pocket swager to the list also. I'd die of old age before I did even 1000 cases with that thing.

Posted: 12/29/2001 5:12:17 AM EDT

all scopes, bipods and bayonets.

Posted: 12/29/2001 5:38:18 AM EDT

Those "automatic" fire devices you put on your triggers.

Lasers.

Posted: 12/29/2001 6:02:59 AM EDT

[#21]

Well, it's not really an accessory, but how about the forward assist? Anyone ever actually use it?

Posted: 12/29/2001 8:49:33 AM EDT

I've 2 USA 40 round steel mags (that I'd bought before I knew better) I was saving for the Tromix .50AE upper, but since he's no longer making any more I keep one in the poolhouse & one in the garage as beer bottle openers.

I am almost ashamed to admit I got you all beat.

20 years ago I bought one of those fiber-plastic GI style clamp-on bipods.

It's buried in a box in storage somewhere.

All consumer-grade lasers. Too weak to use in the daytime, and they only slow you down. And the LE/MIL lasers are too expensive.

I remember those, about 10 years ago... For full-auto use of your M16 in a defensive position. Ahh, that takes me back...

The DPMS "butt plug".
I changed the grip to a Hogue, anyway, so it won't fit.
Now, I just use it for a butt plug...

I use one of those on my 10/22 when shooting groundhogs.

#1. Bayonete for my preban.
#2. Scope rings for my .22; useless POS miss-aligns the scope.

Leapers 4x scope.

Did manage to trade it for an 80% colt 20 rounder though. I think I got the better end of that.

I duct taped it to my semi 1919A4. I'll upload a pic tomorrow ;)

Any bipod IMHO is as close to a useless accessory as one can have. For DCM its obviously useless, I have yet to need one for hunting, and when I want extreme accuracy I prefer a benchrest setup like one from Sinclair. Maybe there are uses for a bipod but the majority of guys that I see using them just want them for looks.

A $35 red-dot sight I got at the funshow. On the highest setting the dot washes out in daylight... total POS.

Practice rifle grenade W/2 rds. for M1 Garand. Had to have it, never used it, BUT I got her boy!! Makes a hell of a door stop.

The only useless items I ever bought were the 9 USA 40 rounders that I bought. The ad said "new in gi issue pouch" needless to say ...

Titanium firing pin.

There's actually a manufacturer using these things. It shows they should stick to pistols.

Posted: 12/30/2001 7:13:18 AM EDT

RIS. Not that bad for a $250 handguard, but once you hang all that crap off of it you end up with a 15 lb carbine which sort of defeats the purpose.

How about a Milt Sparks summer special for a Khar p9. Gun turned out to be a piece of ****!
