Thread: Firearms you're glad you sold.

That’s why Aussie keep sandpaper down pants.....so they can hit side of barn door

Marlin xt 22 magnum, it was absolute junk. Failed to feed, failed to eject the screws holding in the trigger vibrated loose, it was just pure crap.

Nea ar15 what a pile of shit that was thanks to the circus i got 700 more than i paid for it

Norinco 223, bolt would jam closed with a live round in the chamber, had to use a chunk if wood to lift the bolt ehilst avoiding pointing the barrel in your face

Remington 783 in 308, it functioned but was a classic case of cost cutting, no aethetics or finishing touches

Fuck I came close to buying one of those after being pleasantly supprised by my jw15..... I thought shit they must be all good, luckily I was warned off by a mate

Remington 770 plastic junk

a stirling 22 magnum I refinished the stock on, I was only happy to sell as the guys on trademe got into a bidding war and likely payed more than they cost new
the stock must have been to their liking

H&r 243 tried everything other than re engineer it to have an extractor to get the cases out after firing

Walther PPS. The narrow grip pushed right on a nerve in the palm of my hand. After 6 or so range trips, I couldn't put more than 20 rounds down range before my hand started to hurt like mad or go numb. Sucks because it's a great carry piece.

A Fabarm Lion H368, think I persevered for 3 seasons before giving up on that piece of shit, after service care was great but u shouldn't be taking in a shotty more times than you take it out. Should have spent the extra money at the time and got the RR of shotguns, Benelli

I wished I'd kept my Benneli, and my Norton, and my 750 Duke...

Still trying . Chiappa Double Badger 22LR/410ga. Two warranty firing pin issues and doesn't group well with anything so far. Being an honest sort I am trying to get it to run reliably so I dont feel like I am screwing the next bloke over.

An early Baikal single-shot 12g, kicked like a mule and sometimes went-off when you closed it--gave it away. Miroku single-shot 12g, kicked worse than the Rusky, sold it on tardme. When he picked it up, he informed me it was for a 15yr-old. I suggested the boy would never fire a gun again after that

sixties, I have seen on YouTube that the double badger has some issues. Their comments were about the poorly mounted front sight. It would move and come loose. Maybe that is the cause. Can you mount a red dot sight easily? Chiappa dropped the ball when they designed the front and rear sights of many of their rifles. Do you own a little badger? If not maybe replace the double badger with the little badger😋 cheers Brent

Thanks brett. I actually have a little red dot on it, arctic fox cheapo brand . I was looking at the little badger too but a local store won't deal with them due to warranty issues. I am pretty remote though and dealers dont like having to ship items 6500km return to melbourne for serious warranty work. Can't really say whether the little badger has inherent problems I am only going off the situation with the local dealer
