Worthless Firearm?
 
Just for fun thread. Does anyone have one of those firearms that was not supposed to be worth a hill of beans? I have a S&W Model 916 12ga. that I bought in 1973 and has been rated amoung the top three worst shotguns ever made. This poor son of a gun has been through more cold,rain,windy days in a duck blind and more dry,hot dusty days in a dove field than I can recall. It has dropped more birds than can possibly remember. I guess it's a good thing for me that I never read those reviews until just recently. Any body else have one of those kind of weapons?

Don't have it any longer but at one time my father owned a Rohm 22 lr. revolver. It was nearly as deadly to actually shoot the gun as it was to be in front of it when someone else did. It was a POS in every way a gun could be and gave accuracy a whole new propective.

I own a Remington Model 710 in 30-06, nobody likes it but me it seems. Only issue I've had was when the step daughter took it to a pawn shop, without me knowing till it was to late, they slapped the clip in backwards. Had to take it to a local gun shop to have it removed.

Kid pawning (read: stealing) parent's stuff behind their back... hmm... can you say drug problem? I'd be worried.

I have a Traditions Buckhunter Pro ML that I cannot find the breechplug wrench for. It's a good gun, but I can't shoot it because I can't take it apart afterward.

LOL, guess it would be a S&W Sigma VG40.....thing had the most impossible trigger I EVER tried to use!!!!!!!kept it about a year and traided it for a mod 39! I got the better end of the trade! Even sent it back to Smith...they refused to correct the problem!

Yeah....A Rem 592 in 5mm magnum.

Not only did the ammo become unavailable for a while...the gun was an absolute piece.

I loved the caliber, and when the gun functioned it was the perfect groundhog medicine...BUT, the gun had more work done to it than Pamela Anderson.:)

Didn't have a gun safe at the time, do now so they stay locked up. We had a rather long discussion about that as well. I have a guard dog like yours, he's a Siberian Husky mix and loves everyone.

Any thing made by Taurus fits that bill. In my book anyway.
