I currently own a rattled 20 inch abomination with a flat top rail, A2 handguard, and A1 profile stock that started out as an A4 build on an m&p lower because I was under 21 at the time and ended up never finishing it. Its reliable and can shoot 1MOA, but its such a mutilated gun I can’t help but hate it and treat it as a beater
It’s the AR equivalent of uncanny valley, its got the form factor of a typical 20 inch but is actually a horrific parts bin monster beneath the hood. I’ve considered selling it to get a proper retro rifle but sentimental value as my first rifle holds me back+it just works
Its a SOLGW upper from when they used to do build-your-own-upper and its very very nice quality so I might do something funky with it like a C7A1 build
what optic is that?
Primary arms x3 ACSS prism for 5.56. I got it for Christmas one year so I can’t complain but I wanna get an ACOG eventually
All of my guns actually run fairly reliably because I know how to do research before making purchases.
But if I had to pick the worst one, it would be my Stevens 320. It was the first shotgun I ever bought, and I've put a LOT of weird rounds through it.
The front sight is crooked, it will fail to let the last shell out of the magazine tube like half the time, the barrel extension has slightly unthreaded itself, and the barrel itself is scratched to shit because I went through a phase where steel flechettes were the coolest thing in the world to me. The windage on the irons cannot be zeroed due to the crooked front sight, so I drilled and tapped a rail for it myself. I put a shitty red dot on it, and the emitter wanders and needs to be rezeroed every 10 rounds or so. It also has a laser.
Even with having a serious case of first-gunitis, I still like it a lot, and will sometimes bring it to the range to test wacky handloads. It might not be as reliable as my 870, or as capable as my Benelli, but I still have love for the piece of shit, and will never sell it
All polymer guns do that to some degree. It's a common enough issue that it's specifically taught in pretty much every state training course for law enforcement and private security. If it happens excessively and only on that particular gun, you probably got a lemon.
>you probably got a lemon.
Which is pretty fricking unlucky. The Glock 19 is easily the most battle tested handgun available by a significant margin. It's the most popular duty gun in the world.
The only two guns I've ever owned that were "pieces of shit" were both BNIB Rugers.
I have an LCP that is the least reliable firearm I've ever personally witnessed, I still haven't sold it or sent it back to ruger, I have a lot of guns and it was n impulse purchase.
The second was an SP101 .357 that they had massively fricked the cylinder machining on. You quite literally had to mortar the ejector rod to get casings out. I tried probably 30 different boxes/brands of .357 and .38 and it made zero difference.
I think I traded that gun in on a Lipsey's Grey Glock 17
T/C compass in .223. I wanted a cheap rifle for shooting cheaply. stock was fricking terrible so I bought an oryx chassis for it and after shooting it a few times and getting frustrated at how quickly the barrel heat soaked I said frick it, sold it for a $50 profit to some fudd on fuddslist and went all in on a t1x and KRG bravo. never try to polish a turd, buy once cry once.
Worst gun was a ruger single six, it had the worst accuracy of any gun I've ever owned. Nobody could hit with It.
2nd was a ruger single six. I really wanted one and thought the first was just a bad pistol and heard nothing but good about the guns so bought another one. Both were just noise makers, nobody could hit with them.
Stoeger coach gun. I bought it for the short double barrel larp. It's stiff to open, and after repeated shooting gets so stiff you have to break it open over your knee. I found a video online and bought a dremel intending to smooth it up and lighten the spring so you can flip it open like in vidya to reload but never got around to it.
KelTec RFB. It would jam every other round, and smash the case mouth into a square shape. I tried all fifty settings on that stupid gas regulator with multiple brands of commercial ammo and it cycled none of it reliably. Piece of shit.
A Jennings J-25. My uncle gave it to me when I was a kid. I thought it was like a cool spy gun or something. My dad bought me some ammo for it and it couldn’t fire two consecutive rounds without jamming. It is now in the safe waiting for one of those stupid 200 dollar gun buy backs.
Bul armory tomahawk.
It would stovepipe, had a couple light strikes and by some sort israeli black magic every couple of rounds one of the casing would get stuck in the chamber but the slide would go back enough to try and feed the next round into the still fricking full chamber and jam the whole thing up. I couldn't even do a press check without accidentally ejecting the round, even unfired they'd get stuck.
I sold that piece of shit and got a m&p performance center competitor, that one has been wonderful.
worst gun the sd9, complete anus trigger. second worst is the black powder pistol... whatever that repro everybody has. if it wasnt old timey and different i would think its the worst. sucks ass
CZ 527.
In a world where 90% of all bolt action rifles have no sights on them at all and expect you to get an optic 100% of the time. CZ made the 527 and bucked the trend. Cool right?
Wrong. It's entire claim to fame was that it was a bolt action with iron sights in a market where it's rare. Guess what? When I got it the rear sight was just rattling around in the box. I tried to attach it to the sight base. There's two little screws on the right sight that are supposed to go SOMEwhere but there's literally nothing on the sight base that it screws into, it's just supposed to "pinch" the smooth metal of the base with tension. But you can only move one screw at a time, not in tandem with one another. So how the frick do you adjust for windage? Well I tried to fricking sight the thing in but the recoil from the first shot of 7.62x39 made it just fly the frick off. I spent 20 minutes trying to find it in the grass. I screwed it back on. I cycled the and IT STUCK. Literally had to whack it from behind to get the bolt to go forward. The bolt just binds up and jams on most shots. But when it does shoot the rear sight flies off again almost every time. The longest it's gone without flying off was three rounds, so I could never really sight the rifle in.
So the rifle made to stand out via having irons and being a bolt gun has irons that fell apart and a bolt that sticks. When it did actually shoot it was really really precise. But none of that matters when it fails in it's main functions. $700 later and it's just been sitting in my closet for years. I'm too mad about it to sell it to a guy who will hate it. I've never bought anything else by CZ.
I don't buy shit guns with poor reputations, so I've never had a lemon. But the gun I hated the most was a first-gen Ruger LC9. Great form factor and it was 100% reliable, but the trigger was so long and heavy that it made the gun impossible to shoot accurately unless you were super-duper slow firing, which is the exact opposite of what you want in a defensive carry pistol. Ruger realized this and unfricked the trigger for later generations of the gun.
I have a Rohm .22 revolver that I inherited from my grandpa (along with other guns that aren't shit) whose barrel is now loose in the frame and is probably not safe to shoot any longer. The last time I shot it was 20 years ago with my dad when we noticed that neither of us could hit anything and I inspected it to find the barrel wiggling like a loose tooth.
Cz vzor50
Wouldnt feed reliably no matter what i did with it.
what gun is that in your pic?
FAMAS
https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Non_Guns#Non_Descript_Pocket_Pistol
Glock 1
Glonk
High speed blood pressure medication delivery system.
tx22
keyholed at 7 yards
I couldnt get 3 consecutive shots in the same hole at 7 yards with the replacement barrel
neither could by friends.
Either rem 887 with horrible fit and finish or fabarn pump that fired on trigger reset.
>fabarn pump that fired on trigger reset
What the frick ? Never heard of that. Fabarm are good-tier shotguns.

M&P 15-22. I for the life of me cannot get that thing to shoot straight. I want to like that gun so bad, but it is little more than a noisemaker.
That sounds terrible and awesome at the same time. You should post a picture of it.
It’s the AR equivalent of uncanny valley, its got the form factor of a typical 20 inch but is actually a horrific parts bin monster beneath the hood. I’ve considered selling it to get a proper retro rifle but sentimental value as my first rifle holds me back+it just works
It's not as bad as I thought it would look.
>consider selling it
Would anyone else want it? You said yourself it works fine, you might as well keep it.
Its a SOLGW upper from when they used to do build-your-own-upper and its very very nice quality so I might do something funky with it like a C7A1 build

glock 19
would fail to eject when I held it slightly loose in the hand
That's a feature, not a bug
you're supposed to use a sturdy grip, not shoot it sideways 2' over your head, Jamal.
>my pistol didn’t work when I limp wrist it
What a moronic homosexual

SCCY. Broke the second shot. Horrible customer service when trying to get it repaired. Outright refusal to honor their return policy.
A Rohm 22 revolver I bought at a thrift store for $75 for the meme. Often the cylinder won't even rotate.
Polish P-64
Expensive to feed, very snappy, and garbage trigger. It looked cool though.

You probably just need to strip and clean it military style. Don't do it if you don't know how to put it back together though.
I'd recognize that hand anywhere
Bul armory tomahawk.
It would stovepipe, had a couple light strikes and by some sort israeli black magic every couple of rounds one of the casing would get stuck in the chamber but the slide would go back enough to try and feed the next round into the still fricking full chamber and jam the whole thing up.

Probably Del-Ton AR or Tula M44
Del-Ton wouldn't cycle
Tula M44 had 7 reissue stamps and was basically smooth bore
