We had a TriStar(Turkish) o/u waterfowl shotgun chambered for 3.5s. Occasionally both barrels would go off and knock you in the water LOL. Added some excitement.
Whats the worse rifle or gun you ever bought ? I hsve several tied

Garden Gun Smoothbore .22 | Henry Repeating Arms
The Henry Garden Gun is one that belongs right by your side as soon as you walk out the front door to start the day's chores. Tuck it next to the seat of your tractor or riding mower and have it at the ready for when something slithers into view through the grass, dispatch those barn-dwelling...www.henryusa.com
A lot of the exhibition shooters used smooth bore .22 for their "Aspirin" shooting exhibitions. I have both a Winchester and a Mossberg smoothbore .22 and have shot a lot of "ratshot" through them. I wasn't aware Henry was making a smoothbore rimfire. Thanks for the info.

This wasn't supposed to be a garden gun, just ended up as one.

I initially say I can work with any firearm. The LORD knows I have repaired and restored some lost causes, but if there was any particular rifle that I do not want to own or even work on ever again, it would be a Remington 742. I've had 4-5 over the years, some better than others, but as a whole they are ridiculously horrible.
I set up new rifles for friends and have shot several models of most brands.
The only current production guns I will not touch are Bergara and Daniel Defense. Quality control is crazy bad in my experience. I've owned them and shot many owned by others. I just learned they are not worth the aggravation!
Ruger M77s are the only older guns I won't waste time on.

I already said winchester 94 AE 357mag, having had a bit time to reflect I have to say yeah, win 94 AE in 357 mag biggest p os I ever owned. It was like the little girl with a curl right in the middle of her forehead, in the nursery rhyme, when she was good she was very, very good but when she was bad she was horrid.
S@w 22 pistol I don't remember what the # was but it had a take down button up front . The barrel had a post and the top strap pick rail had a hook . You push the button and pivot the top off . Well the barrel was screwed to the top strap and after firing it would spread the barrel and the rear hook out and you couldn't get it apart . Sold it for a loss quickly.
An ATI milled receiver ak47. Complete pile of garbage. A buddy was firing it luckily right side when he is left handed bc of a heart issue. It stack a round an went off before bolt was closed. After months of dealing with ATI the sent me another pile before refunding me. They no longer make aks and I will never buy any product from them again
When Colt came out with the stainless Python, I had to have one. Upon arrival and first shooting, I realized the barrel hadn't been tightened enough for the front sight to be vertical. Secondly, the cylinder latch wobbled terribly. Returned it to Colt who agreed to repair it. 6 months later, I sold it to someone who understood the problems but wanted it anyway. Colt fixed it after 9 months.

Ruger M77 International (Mannlicher stock). This was back in the day when Ruger outsourced their barrels. It was pretty, but would barely hit a barn door at 100 yards. Now it wears a Hart light varmint barrel in a varmint stock and is very accurate.
