Tec-9 Jam-O-Matic. You could'nt shoot more than 4 or 5 rounds without having a jam. Saved alot of money on ammo like that. Kinda want to get another one.
Glenfield 60. Tubular fed .22 semi-auto. Aluminum reciever worked loose around the barrel and is very sloppy now. OK, I probably fired 30,000 rounds through it and it still shoots but just seems a bit cheap to me.
OK gents, what is the worst gun you own(ed)? (for any reason)
Mine was a Universal M1 carbine I had as a kid. Wouldn't eject, wouldn't group consistently, sights were all jacked up. It was stolen in 1988.
I had one too. The problems only occurred with mine when I had a 30 round magazine inserted. I had few problems with the 20 round mags.
Another problem child was the Inglis High Power I used to own. It would stove pipe about every other round and with a variety of ammunition. I traded it back in and bought a Walther P5.

Marlin M45 carbine. Bought one when they first came out, put a folding RamLine stock on it and an under-barrel Mag Lite. Shot 15 rounds thru it in the first year. Yep, 15. The polymer trigger block wouldn't stay together and would crack after the 3rd or 4th shot. Did it three times. Marlin replaced the assembly each time, with me paying shipping. After I got it together the last time, I fired two rounds thru it to be sure it was together right and immediately sold it. I wouldn't have another if they were giving them away.
Auto Ordinance ZG-51 Pit Bull.
On the few occasions that it actually fired without a stovepipe, the hot cases would hit me in the face. It couldn't hit the side of a barn from the inside and the frame metal was as soft as Play-Doh. Pure Junk.
It turned me off to 1911's for many years after that..............
