What Gun Do You Regret Buying?

The last one, iffen I hadn't bought it the boat might not have sank with them.

Witchita bolt silhouette pistol in 7mmPPC. What a PITA. Still have it, thinking about rebarreling. 7PPC is just too much work. It's a pretty thing, though.

Purchased a Norinco off the shelf of a pawn shop- I glanced it over pretty well and I wouldn't have been surprised to find it was new from the factory. Paid about average price for a Norinco. Took her out, loaded her up, a jam. A pretty difficult-to-unjam-jam. It seemed there was a slight dent in the barrel, about an inch or so down in there so that a round could not be fed in/chambered...The dent- I certainly was not comfortable with the idea of just trying to ram the bolt home and hope the case will come out after firing (assuming it would even do that.) At the time being newish to firearms I didn't want to attempt fixing this issue myself. To my lucky stars while deciding what to do I found a guy locally whom explained he refurbs and build custom sks's, I sold mine at a minor loss (40$ if you include the background check, a magazine, and a cranky mood overall I believe). I still want an SKS ><

Taurus "Gaucho" looks can be deceiving!, beautiful gun, ***!!, world poster child for light primer strikes!, found it to be the cheap copy of the safety transfer bar, heard lots of other guys had issue with theirs as well, and a Rossi 62SA, JAMB"O"MATIC!, if you don't mind splitting the rifle in half every two or three shots to clear the jamb!?
NO! more Brazilian ****! in my safe! EVER!

K31 Swiss. I don't know what posessed me. Never shoot it and likely never will. Just seemed a good idea at the time.

Wow! Loved mine. Wish I had been able to get it home from Germany. Another one is still on my bucket list. VERY accurate!

I bought a Davis .22 for my estranged wife. It was a *** from the get-go.

Llama mini-max. Davis derringer. Charter Arms AR-7. And believe it or not, a Kimber CDP back when they were monkeying around with external extractors. After several trips back to Yonkers, it still wouldn't get through a magazine. Kimber made it right by sending back a Fullsized Custom with the internal John Moses Browning extractor. Not glitch one with that one.

the Davis or the wife?

The only gun I ever regretted buying was a Beretta Tomcac .32 acp. I NEVER found a load (factory or handload) that would feed reliably in that gun! I was jamming constantly! Both FTF and FTE. After two trips back to Beretta and no improvement, it went down the road!

The Davis was worthless, she was not.

I haven't regretted buying any gun for any reason other than they keep me occupied with reloading for them. I DO regret however not buying more earlier.

Ruger 10-22 . It shot 1 foot groups at 25 feet. After 15 years of sitting in the closet I Put a Green Mountain bull barrel on it and it now shoots 1/2 in groups with cheep bricks at 50 yds.

[TheCelt]

Ruger M77 VT in 308. Would not do better than 1.75 MOA with ANYTHING it was fed. Federal Gold Match was the best at 1.75 MOA, Win SP3 was 3.5 MOA. Ruger said that was acceptable and that was it. Will never buy a ruger rifle again.

Same here. Wish I had back every one I sold. Larry

Ruger Old Army. Very nice handgun. Like new 1972 model (almost). I like my flinters, thought I would like the Old Army because I had one 35 years ago. I guess I cam to the same conclusion then to and forgot!
It's going down the road.

[Wolfer]

It's not the ones I bought I regret, it's the ones I sold!

[Ozarki]

Cimeron mode lp Extractor rod spring and housing down range on 5 th shot. Picked them up, screw and barrel stripped. on the 10th shot we got lite hammer strikes-no fire. Sent it back. The changed the firing pin. Sent two new screws did not fix threads in barrel. Back to range . Same problems. Took the mad. p home to the shop fired up the bandsaw and was very close to cutting that junk up. Decided I could not hurt it any. The hole in the hammer was too deep. Shimmed it now it goes bang. Fast forward 12 years and I have now made an ejector screw for it and one of these fine days I'll get it out of its plastic bag and put it back together. Never to have another Cimmeron anything ever

Years ago I bought a AMT 10mm hardballer when they first came out. It galled badly, was inaccurate and just a general piece of ****.

[Gunslinger1911]

Taurus 17 HMR revolver (not bashing Tarus at all - LOVE my 454 Raging Bull !!!) The 17 - Nice gun, good fit and finish, accurate, decent trigger pull ................... just not sure what the heck it's for !! Seemed like a good idea at the time. lol Such a nich gun, I don't think I'll ever find anyone crazier than me to buy it. (Did I mention it really lays waste to a pop can of water) THAT'S what it's for .......... the oooooh, ahhhh, wow factor !

[Friends call me Pac]

A Jenning's .22 semi auto. Most unreliable gun I have ever owned or seen.
