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.

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.

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.

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

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.
