Thread: The WORST Firearm You Ever Owned

I think you should attack the topic, not the person. in any event your attack is misplaced. I have said repeatedly that I think 10/22 is inaccurate and overpriced. I have no problem with many people finding 10/22 to be the worst gun they had - it would be a natural consequence of having the largest number in the pool. I am merely trying to give a balanced view that to improve accuracy does not cost "twice the cost of the gun".

I repeat: calm down bro - there is no attack in what I said.
Balanced view in this thread isn't required: by it's very nature if a large number of people think the 10/22 is the worst they have had, it will be unbalanced.
Calm down - go hunt or shoot something; not everyone on the internet is going to tell you what you want to hear.

While I said mine one shoots minute of rabbit out to 90 yards, my mates one could only hit a 2 litre milk bottle 2/5 times. I put it down to his shit shooting. Only mods done to mine is $30 trigger polish/lighten. But in saying that, never really changed anything

Mine had a backwards barrel. About 2 inches in front of the chamber it tightened up to about .20 to .21 then about an inch later went out to .23. (clearly made last thing friday evening before knock off). It meant that the bullet was swaged down just after leaving the chamber and barely touched the rifling after that. Made it a 3" barrel with a 12 inch solid steel flash suppressor / front weight. Had they turned the barrel around and chambered the other end the barrel would have tightened up at the muzzle and possibly been a real tack driver.....
