Worst gun I've bought was a stoeger 2000. You really do get what you pay for.

My worst was a jennings 22 auto. I bought it new and it jammed after every shot...
Traded it to a friend of my brother in law for a johndeer snowmobile...
It didn't work right either.
As for mkII reasembly, practice makes perfect. I got it down to 11 seconds
to field strip it and put it back together.

An RG .22 revolver, true POS Almost equally as bad was a Beretta Jet Fire in .22 short. It jammed every third round at least, light strike misfires. I tried everything to get that thing to work. Only reason it doesn't beat out the RG is it was all steel, wasn't dangerous, and I sold it at a gun show for more than I gave for it.
I have an Charter Arms AR7 and like it. It shoots fine. Never met a .22 I didn't like. Well, there was this OLD rolling block Remington my uncle had, gave it to my cousin. It was just old and unsafe. I guess the AR7 is the worst I own now just do to the terrible triggers those things have, but it functions 100 percent, is accurate enough for hunting, and stashes in a motorcycle saddle bag, the whole reason I have it.
If you have problems with an AR7 feeding, you need to get the right bend in the feed ramp on the magazine. 99% of the time that's the problem. And, BTW, I also have a charter arms explorer 2 pistol that's the handgun version of the AR7. It's 100% functional and quite accurate also and also has a terrible trigger.Never owned a really bad one. I guess the worst made, worst trigger was a Savage M340 in .30-30, but it wasn't a bad gun. Oh, an edit, worst I just remembered was an old Spanish Mauser in 7mm. It was in decent shape when I got it, good bore, had it drilled and tapped and put a scope on it. But, it was only decent hunting accurate only with 175 grain round nose bullets. To be fair to the gun, though, it was designed to shoot heavy spitzer FMJs, fast rifling twist. It did NOT like 140s at all. It was a cocks on closing bolt, too, which I didn't much care for.

I have never had a problem out of my S&W revolvers. Nor an old BDL and Sako 75 Deluxe ,and Finnbear hunting rifles. Nor with my Sig and CZ semi-auto's.
I have only had two lemons.
The first was a Taurus .454 Raging Bull. The revolver was a lemon, as was dealing the Taurus CS. The thing was sold, for a loss.
The second was a Browning Gold 12ga Sporting Clays. Two trips to Browning(with them admiting there was problem) did not fix it's issues. Browning gave a new Gold in it's place. The new Gold SC ,was promptly sold. Call me paranoid.
The Beretta Tehnys Gold Sporting Clays that took it's place, has been flawless.

Worst handgun: Taurus model 82 .38 spl. I work as an armed security officer, and I was issued one when I was first hired. Terrible trigger pull, and it would lock up at any given moment when firing the gun. I asked permission to carry my own weapon and it was granted. I replaced with a S&W model 28 HWY Patrolman .357.
Worst rimfire rifle: My first gun was a Marlin model 99C. The sight would come loose often, and it wouldn't feed Winchester ammo.
I haven't had any other bad experiences with centerfire rifles and shotguns.

Handguns:
~~~Glock 34: Jams and stovepipes, stovepipes and jams. Never did work right. Never. Thought I would go crazy from it. Sold it to finance a 1911.
Yessss!
~~~Taurus PT-22: Failed to fire about 20% of the time. Sold it to finance a Ruger Mark II Government Model (.22LR) that changed my life and won me trophies.
