Worst most unreliable POS firearms you have ever owned. And what you do with them.

A springfield made in Brazil 1911. Accuracy was **** an cycking was even worse. FTEs were like every other round fired. I eventually pawned that gun for less than a third of what I paid for it.

Springfield M1A roller came off the bolt so I sold it after I sent it back to the factory for repairs I sold it with full disclosure to the new owner of the problem it was having at a huge loss.

Not my gun but I watched a buddies S&W Sigma crack the ring that holds the spring and guide rod and shoot the spring across the room when he merely bumped the gun sitting down.

3 Ruger new vaqueros had the same problem. After shooting about 500 rounds the cylinders locked up and you couldn't turn or open the latch to remove spent casings. Sent to Ruger for repairs and then sold to a pawn shop.

Ruger Super black hawk I purchased when I was 21 so many moons ago. The timing of the cylinders was off so it shaved copper at the forcing cone. Sent to factory for repairs then sold to a pawn shop.

That is pretty much it. As you can see though when I get a POS firearm I get it repaired and then it goes to a pawn shop to be sold at normally a 3rd of what I have in it. Except for the 1911 I am sure someone with some know how and want to could have fixed that gun but I sold it to a pawn shop without fixing that one.

Flip them for twice their actual value on the Interwebs.

It is a tossup between a Marlin 60 and a Mini 14.

The marlin was accurate, but a total jamm-o-matic. Sold it for 20 bucks.

The mini cycled fine, but a 12 gauge shoots tighter groups with bird shot. Traded that POS for a saddle.

I imagine some people do but I don't have it in me to cheat someone with a POS gun. I don't want to be responsible when their life depends on it and they die because I sold them a busted gun.

Yep, a ruger. Don't get me wrong some rugers are great guns but a lot of them just aren't worth owning.

I always thought those things looked like a POS. Now I know they are.

I bought a Tec-22 many years ago when they came out . It was a jamomatic and would not go through a magazine without problems , sent back twice then sold it

Walther 22 pistol, freakin jam-o- matic, traded for a Rossi revolver.

Dang man, you are snake bit.
I've never owned a single problem gun.
Of course I only ever owned one, then the canoe trip.... and all that....
