My last Rem 700. My Dad’s is absolutely stunning (late 70’s probably) and is one of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever fired. The XCR II I bought around 2014 was a total shit box. Fuck new Remington.

Cimarron Colt 1878 clone - It got rave reviews. I was really excited to SBS one. The example I received was nothing but problems right out of the box. It is already off-face after only approximately 500 rounds of mostly light birdshot. Piece of junk.
Benelli M4 factory LE model - I paid a lot for this gun. The factory adjustable buttstock was designed by an idiot. It changes the comb height as you change the length of pull. The gun also came with parts that are not mentioned in the owners manual. Worst of all, it chronically suffers ~2% failure to fire rate due to light primer strikes (across a wide variety of ammunition). |

Christensen Ridgeline. It's a nice rifle, but not $2k nice. The action is okay, but not great. The stock is okay, but not great. Good trigger. Mine was plenty accurate, but if I'd have started sticking money into it to replace the stock and fix the minor gripes I had with it, I'd have had custom rifle money into it. In the end I just decided to sell it and build a custom.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Pakieser: Sig MPX. High price, high maintenance and low reliability. I had high hopes for the MPX and dumped considerable coin into it. ILWT barrel and 4 position adjustable gas. Also used a post sample full auto sear. Mine was reliable but is too fast in full auto and not tunable to slow it down. Terrible suppressed. Gassy and loud. Adjustable gas didn't help. So glad I dumped it. |

UZI Model B semi auto, bought in CA in 1988. Jammamtic and a half, couldn't get through a single mag without jamming, no matter what magazine. Made a BUNCH of money selling it after the ban came down, so I doubly don't regret getting rid of it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jetpig: Weatherby Accumark. Looks great for a 4 MOA rifle. At least twice as accurate as my old Kimber 84M in 308, which was a despicable piece of very expensive garbage. Would not feed from left side of the magazine, 8 to 10 MOA as it came from the factory (it's hard to tell when you can't keep em all on the paper), and Kimber told me to get stuffed and stop complaining about their fine rifles. I spent a lot of money on gunsmithing, and finally got it to a legit 3.5 MOA gun, and after 101 tries with the pliers on the mag box got it to feed. Sold it with full disclosure for a huge loss. Guy I sold it to had the barrel bored to 338 Federal, and that finally got it down in MOA territory. First and last Kimber for me. |

HK-93: My holy grail gun. After shooting a full auto one, thought I would love the semi version. A ridiculously heavy 223. Sold it.
FN FNC: Bought it to some day have the sear added. Another ridiculously heavy 223. Sold it. Walther G22: Neat looking 22lr bullpup, but the piece of shit never worked, even though it took a couple trips back to the factory. Sold it back to the gun shop I bought it from. Carbon-15: Neat little plastic AR pistol that never worked. Sold it. MP5-10mm clone: A Todd Bailey gun. I should have known better. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TREETOP: USP full-size .40. It worked great, I never had a single malfunction, but it could barely hit a barn from the inside. Least accurate pistol I’ve ever had, and I’ve had Lorcin, Davis, Cobra, Intratec, Makarov, and Raven pistols. Maybe it was just my particular example, I don’t know, but that was the one and only .40 I ever owned. Soured me on the whole caliber/chambering. USPs have a weird sight picture, any chance it was that? Or maybe a flinch with 40? I don't care for the caliber either in my limited experience. |

AR-7 - never could get it to work properly and it didn't really do anything for me that a 10/22 can't do
Kel-Tec Sub-2000 - not very comfortable to shoot KelTec CP33 - too bulky for a .22 LR pistol and my fascination waned very quickly Diamondback DB9 - bought to replace the Kel-Tec P32 I pocket carried (probably the only Kel-Tec product I've actually loved) because of the larger caliber in a pretty similar sized gun (also helped me consolidate calibers); the damn trigger snapped off during a string of fire on the range with 250-500 round total through the gun |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fivepointoh: USP full-size in 45 MP5k PSA AK 104 SCAR 17 It's funny because I've owned all of those guns (besides the 104, I had the 103) and I love all of them. I sold the Scar 17 because I don't need a .308, but I still think it's the best one on the market. Love my SP5k-PDW and USP 45 w/ LEM trigger. Both are extremely smooth shooting and I've never had a single failure. All four of the guns you just listed are among the most reliable, capable, and time-proven guns ever made. For me, it's the Beretta M9A4. I tried to like the gun, but I can't stand DA/SA pistols and it's still hard to mount an optic on it. |

I'd probably say it was my Walther P99AS. I lusted after that gun for years and years. The design is pretty awesome, the quality is great, on paper it should have retired every one of my Glocks.
When I finally bought one, I just couldn't make it work for me. It didn't fit my hand at all no matter which backstrap I installed. It was supremely reliable but "patterned" more than "grouped". I tried really hard to learn and adapt to it but nothing I did mattered. I sold it during the first Obama panic for what I had in it.  Some part of me thinks maybe I just had a lemon, I never had a handgun from .380 up to .45 that I've picked up that I couldn't figure out after running through a magazine. Glocks, 1911 clones, Berettas, HKs, Hi Powers/clones, CZs, FNs - I'll never be a competition-grade shooter but I can handle all of these with a decent level of proficiency. I could never get the Walther to work for me. I'll echo the complaints about the Benelli M4 telestock - I have a clone but it uses the same basic design when it comes to the comb. I guess aiming was an optional aspect of the adjustable stock.  I know the recoil assembly is in the buffer tube but there's no reason it has to angle down so sharply, it could go straight back.

I'll be the oddball and say pretty much every 9mm Glock. Had both the G43x and G19 and just couldn't get used to the grip angles. Sold both and went to a Sig P365, then P365XL as well as a Shadow Systems MR920, all of which work much better for me.
On the flip side, the 10mm Glocks (G20SF and G40) are among my favorite guns. |

Chiappa M1 9mm carbine. This was pretty much before the big PCC rage. It was accurate and fun to shoot but
it would choke on EVERY magazine no matter what brand I used. These use Beretta-type mags which should feed well. However, the designers set up the mag position to mimic the original M1 carbine mags 90 degree to barrel. This put the top bullet at such a steep angle to the chamber that most of them ended up pointed to the sky instead of chambering correctly. Glad I got rid of that one..... |

Sig 556. What an absolute turd of a rifle in its actual execution. Exeter took an excellent, elegant, perfectly executed Swiss design and made the 556, its extra chromosomal cousin.
Sig Spear. Terrible design of the handguard-upper receiver interface with absolutely shit tolerances, shit QC. It’s embarrassing that our tier-1 guys got such an unequivocally garbage rifle. And the caliber is moronic too. Let’s add a new caliber that’s super complex to manufacture, has heavy recoil, and is super costly. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By TrailerTrash556: Keltec Sub2000 Keep in mind I did not have super high expectations like it was going to be the ultimate backpack gun or something. I got a really good deal on a used gen1 probably 6 years ago thinking this will be fun as hell. I absolutely did not enjoy it one little bit. I bought a heavy charge handle and bolt buffer from Mcarbo and that helped a bit but it still wasn't something I could get into. I ended up trading it for 1200 rounds of 5.56 and 800 rounds of 9mm. 15 years ago I bought a gen 1 with a S&W magwell. Had a buttload of 5900 mags. Ended up getting rid of it due to the heavy recoil. shit trigger and low sights. Wish I kept the mags... Just recently I bought a gen 2. Nothings changed, heavy recoil, shit trigger, low sights, charging handle rips beard. That said, it does fill the niche of having a "long gun" when you need it to be discrete. |

I know the recoil assembly is in the buffer tube but there's no reason it has to angle down so sharply, it could go straight back.The M4S90 op system is the tried & true inertial system used in the M1 with the addition of gas assist via the twin pistons. Note the pivot link in the rear carrier arm to allow that piece on the action slide into the angled stock tube. It would more than some tweaking to alter the design to a straight in-line action. My guess is they wanted to keep it in the family. Personally, I've had zero problems with mine, or the cheek height variance. |

MP5k was an mke clone, swapped all the usual HK parts in, went classic with the vfg and choate stock, just prefer the full size is all. SCAR17, meh, I like AR10's more. AK104, I just don't think I'm an AK guy. I've tried and tried to like them, have bought too many to count. Just not my thing. |
