    What is your least reliable gun?

    Here are my least reliable guns:

    -Mini 30
    -Taurus 22lr. revolver
    -Mossberg 600AT

    My Mini 30 has more failure to feeds than you can shake a stick at (I blame the mags), the cylinder on the Taurus decides every now and then that it doesnt want to rotate (Its over 30 years old), and the 600AT will sometimes feed an extra shell out of the tube when pumping (Cartridge stop is old and worn).

    So what is yours? What do you think the problem is? Is it just a piece of crap, are the parts old and wearing out, or do you just not know what the problem is?
    Dear California,
    I love you. I was born and raised in you. You have given me some of the best times of my life. Now with that said, I can not wait to move!
    Your prisoner,

    I don't have any guns that aren't reliable.

      Kimber Tactical Pro II - the most rounds it's gone between a failure to feed has been 80. It's been back to Kimber once with no joy. Now it sits in the safe.
      The way some gunshop clerks spout off, you'd think that they invented gunpowder and the repeating rifle, and sat on the Supreme Court as well.

        Isn't that the truth! Sort of like having a lawn mower that won't start.

          LOL, my first handgun, POS but I can't let it go because it was the first...

          Jennings(by bryco) model "38" .380 subcompact. That thing is a major POS, I would sooner throw it at an attacker than try and shoot them with it.

            I have a 1980 Ruger Standard Auto with a broken ejector. I bought it for $125 last year, knowing it had this issue. The very tip of the ejector looks like it broke off, it looks about 0.1" shorter than it should be.

            Depending on the ammo, I can make through 2-9 rounds without a stovepipe or failure to eject. Once or twice I've shot 2 magazines without a FTE. I really need to send it in to Ruger, but I've been procrastinating.

            Seeing as it doesn't get shot much and I don't plan on using it in a defensive situation, I am not in a rush to get it taken care of.

              Unreliable guns get sold or traded.

                if it was less than reliable it would cease to be my gun.

                    My great-grandfather's .38 Orbea revolver, circa the turn of the 20th century. Horrible sights, cylinder won't line up when fired double-action, and the trigger pull is horrible.

                    But it's got a history (2 justified kills... or so the story goes), so I'd never sell or discard it. I'll never shoot it again either.

                        Guns are too important to have one that is unreliable.

                          Glock 17 with the AA 22lr conversion, only because it is so picky on the ammo.
                          But its only like that on the range,

                            My P22. Out of all of my guns that I currently own, it's the ONLY one that doesn't run right. Any one of my 20+ guns I can take out of the safe, and fire it 100%. The P22 screws up in many different forms in at least one of two mags.
                            Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
                            Let my aim be true and my hand faster
                            than those who would seek to destroy me.
                            Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
                            Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
                            And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home, let me die in an empty pile of brass.

                              Sig Mosquito SUCKED... LOVED the way it looked and felt but i ran every type of ammo through that thing, tired other mags... just never worked more than 2-3 mags in a row without a problem.

                              After that it was probably my M1 Carbine... FTE all the time. Then my SKS always had light primer strikes
