I try to like all guns, but have had a few, shot them or fixed them, then sold them and will more than likely never get another.
Ruger Blackhawk with squared rear trigger guard. Stupid thing wears a hole in my knuckle. Gone.
Volunteer Mk IV .45 Thompson clone. No parts replacements and while it shot well enough, just seemed like an accident waiting to happen (parts breakage). Gone.
AR-17 shotgun. Had to have it, because it was an "Armalite". Didn't see the point, never shot it. Gone.
Benelli B76 9mm. Interesting mechanism. Single stack mag that was a pain to load? They shot up in price for some reason a few years back, so sold it and don't miss it.
AR-7. The Armalite thing again (original manufacturer) Sucked at reliable feeding. Mag lips get bent easily. I own a Ruger 10-22. Gone.
PLR 22. Had it, like it, but never shot it. Ended up in AR .22's so again, what is the point? Sold it. Thank you ODT member! Gone. Let me stipulate, there was nothing wrong with this gun, but it never got shot, so why have it?
Glenfield Model 60. I know, people love these things. If you have ever broken one way down, and got into the trigger/mechanism block, it is a real pain. Got a Ruger 10-22. Gone. Caveat. I have one Brand New in the box from Montgomery Wards, but I never shoot it. Just sits in the closet. Nostalgia.
M1A in a Sage stock. Stock costs as much as the rifle, thereby doubling the price of a $1200 rifle. Heavy. Add a scope. Even heavier. I am sure it can pound the **** out of objects at distance, but it is like hauling a Bren Gun around. I got lighter .308s. Gone.
