RE: Bad gun purchases....
-Remington 597- not worth owning, sold it.
-win 94 30-30- nice looking gun but barely shot minute of pie plate. Luckily the guy I bought it from missed the rifle so I sold it back to him for the same amount I bought from him in the first place a year later.
-Yugo 48 mauser- while degreasing it, found that the barrel had a walnut in it near the muzzle. Took it back to store and had to put up a really big stink to have it exchanged for another one. The replacement I got I'm very happy with though.
-Beretta 92- shoots flawlessly but not as accurate as I hoped- maybe another thousands rounds through it will help... I hope.
