Why does someone create a whole new thread asking this same exact question every couple days??

How much did it cost you?

And a newb as well... Talk about trollin'....

He's good at it too. After all. He caught you. ;)

I don't know that I've ever owned a bad one. About the worst I remember was a 12 ga Sears-Roebuck double-gun (Stevens 311, stamped Sears) that I ordered out of the catalog when I was a kid. My mother had to call in the order, and I'm sure she had to sign for the delivery when the Sears truck bought it to the house in those pre GCA-68 days.

There was really nothing wrong with the gun, it was just long and heavy and didn't balance well with it's 30" full and modified barrels. It worked just fine though.
 
LNIB Star BKM. Would not feed even one magazine of FMJ. I owned it less than 24 hours. Too bad because I'd love to have one that works.
 
I had one of those chinese ithaca's too, first shot the forend fell off, trying to fix it, thje barrel twisted, after that I just got fed up and sold the thing for $20.
 
A Cobray 410 derringer. After about 12 shots the action became so loose I was afraid to shoot it.

I got what I paid for.:banghead:
 
A Jimenez JA9. I bought it at a pawn shop for $75. I took it home and field stripped it for cleaning. I found the slide had a big wow right where the stops are. This gun is going to fail soon if it is shot. I really can't sell a unsafe gun to anybody,so I guess I have a $75 paperweight. Oh well,live & learn.
 
Harrington and Richardson 22LR 9 shot revolver with 4" brl. My first handgun when I was 13. I practiced and practiced and practiced with that gun and could not hit the broad side of a barn. I thought that it must be me but it wasn't. Dad bought me a High Standard 6" Sentinal and it shot straight and true.
The second dud was a 9mm 1911 look alike from Stoger Arms. The barrel chamber was to big but writing a letter to the factory was told it was within specification. Yeah when you sized the brass, you could physically see it bell out under the sizing die. I believe the gun was made in Spain but can't remember the name? Can someone help me?

Taurus Tracker, 4" SS, 44 mag. Had an awful time when it was new, sending it back and forth to the factory. It acts almost normal now though but you can't shoot 300 grainers through it, still locks up. I'm stuck with 240's at a low powder content and still can't hit anything. Tried many different loads and you just never know if you're going to hit the target at 25 yards or not. I'm thinking it's on the way out of the safe permanently.
 
Tanfoglio .41AE. Small parts broke all the time. Even the barrel cracked! Good design (based on the Hi-Power) but the steel or heat treatment was very bad.
 
Accu-Tek AT-380. Got it for helping a guy with some work. Never able to fire more than 3 shots with a FTE or FTF. I was told the magazines caused the problem and to open the feed lips some. Tried this. Got 3 rounds off and then a funny sounding click. Racked the slide and found the hammer no longer attached to the gun. :what: . I could replace the hammer for 35 bucks.. I may send it to accutek for repair. .. dunno.

I have owned a Jennings J-22 for 30+ years, fires great when clean. A little bit of dirt and it becomes a jamomatic.
 
Ruger 96/44 lever action .44 mag. Most inaccurate gun I've ever fired. No matter what ammo I used either factory or handload it wouldn't shoot accurately. Couldn't wait to get rid of it.
 
Enfield #5...Yeah, the Jungle Carbine, had terminal wandering zero. I got so sick of that POS I eventually hacksawed it into three pieces and threw it in the trash.
