Title: What is the absolute worst firearm you've ever owned?
Post by: Kingkeoni on May 31, 2011, 10:40:14 PM

What is the worst, unreliable, P.O.S., good for nothing firearm you've ever personally owned?

I had a 25 caliber raven pistol that blew up after less than 100 rounds through it.

The slide literally blew to pieces.

Kokohead range (the old pistol side) 1989.

None yet... Although I love my Mossberg500 Roadblocker, I spent way too much money for it because I wanted it so bad and didn't wanna wait...  :(

I bought a Charter Arms Explorer once for $40, never fired it but it was ugly as sin and I sold it for $100.

Same happened with an old Bryco/Jennings .380 that I bought as soons as I turned 18...catastrophic failure of the slide sent the back half whizzing past my face. Powder burnt into the right side, but lucky to still have my eye. That $80 POS got me a $25,000 settlement.  :wacko:

My Dadʻs old Charter Arms AR-7. Total piece of crap. Bought a bull barrel and collapsing stock with pistol grip for it. Made it more reliable and suck a whole lot less, but I still never shoot it. Bought a Henry AR-7 a couple years ago and that version is much better. Almost no jams, and they make them in camo colors now too. I keep it in my bug--out bag...

Sig Mosquito  -  1st generation

Couldn't even get through 1 mag without a FTFeed/FTE.

Maybe I've been lucky and just haven't had much junk. The "worst" firearm I've ever had was a Ruger Mark II. It has FTE's with cheap stuff and is really beat up. The good thing is that it feeds wonderfully with Blazer.

Same here, I actually sent mine back to Sig thinking something was wrong. They sent it back with FTF / FTE problems still present. I sucked it up and just started buying Minimags/Stingers (it helped improve the feeding and ejecting, but still has some problems).

Sucks because I love my P226, and I really wanted a matching "mini me" pistol... :-[
