The worse rifle you ever owned

Lakefield .22 semi-auto. PITA would only work with certain ammo and was still undependable at best.

+1 I had one of these and it jammed up nearly every shot. What a POS. I did not want to sell this rifle because i would never unload a crap gun like this onto someone else even for free so i took it in to be destroyed instead.
 
Wow

My experience is a bit different. My father bought me a lakefield 64B for my 16th birthday (30+ years ago:redface:) and I had the same problem until I discovered that if I left the thing bone dry-no lube of any kind-it would run flawlessly. Still have it and still shoot it.
 
Not a rifle, but the Norinco 780 Homeland Express was the worst firearm I ever owned.

It takes dedication to **** up a pump action shotgun, but by god Norinco mastered the art.

The damn thing had feeding issues, trigger issues, and extraction and ejection issues. Plus the whole thing had so many sharp edges it felt like I was operating a cheese grater.

I am honestly not worried about any kind of a war with China in the distant future if this is the kind of BS firearm that they supply their troops with. Your better off throwing the damn thing. Sold it off for parts at a big loss. The only firearms investment I have ever lost a serious amount on. :bangHead:
 
I consider myself lucky as my three Reminton rifles, two 788s one in 222, the other in 308 as simply excellent hunting rifles. (1970s)
Also, number 3, a Remington 700 Varmint also in 308 and it shoots wonderfully. (1987 or so)

So far, no Remington hate from me......

Then I looked down the barrel of his gun, and IT HAD NO RIFLING CUT INTO THE BARREL!!!!!!! This gun escaped the factory with obviously stellar quality control. The best part is the dealer said my friend must have wrecked the rifling by shooting improper ammo, and it was a circus to get it returned.
Anyhow, I own a Remington from 1978 in 7mm mag, and its a real barn burning , accurate rifle. I guess Remington has gone severely downhill since the late 70's in the Q.C department.

I've owned a few of these. The first one was a love/hate relationship until I figured out the "run it dry". Now I just clean it up every 500 rds or, so and, it keeps on tickin'. 25 years so far!
 
I have a marlin 336 in 35 Remington that continues to give me misfire problems, its driving me nuts! Stupid gun has less than 500 rounds through it since new. Replaced pretty much every spring and firing pin in it, still getting totally random misfires, tried Remington, Federal, Winchester and recently spent 90 bucks on hornady flex tip ammo, same problem, 30% misfires with factory ammo, reloads are a little better, but its so random I'm extremely reluctant to take it hunting. Frustrating to say the least....
 
I bought a Rohm .22 revolver at a friend's gun store. It was in a bag, disassembled. He took it on trade for something so I sat down and the two of us figured out how it went together so I bought it for $25.

Cylinder misaligned, hilarious trigger, etc. etc. I was dating a cougar at the time and I let her fire it; when she tried to eject the empty brass she sliced her hand open on the slot in the ejector tube. She never shot again...

Anyway I traded it in for an AR7 and got my $25 back.

Funny you say that, My friend got one of those Green VTR rifles from Remington last May. (the one with the muzzlebreak cut into the end and the triangle barrel.) ................anyhow, we were getting keyholed groups of 6 to 9 inches at 100 yards with 4 different types of factory ammo (150 grain, 165 grain, and 2 types of 180 grain) plus 2 homeloads. We did the whole re-mount the scope/rings/bases, tightened all the action screws, etc,boresighted, then the groups stayed exactly the same. We thought the NEW Redfield scope was hooped, so we put on my Burris fullfield II , and it was the same result.

Hold on to it, you have in your hands Remington's prototype repeater musket :D

Does it count as a rifle when there's no rifling?
 
I had a ruger m77 varmint that came with receiver ring slots milled so crooked that the scope was visibly looking "out to left field" - bore-sighting was impossible. Never fired a shot....guessing it would have been junker.

Second worst was a TC Pro-Hunter in 7mm rem mag - 4" groups at 100yards was a GOOD group. Eventually got it warrantied. New one did better with a good group being 2", so I sold it :D
