What's the most worthless gun that you won't get rid of?

My C9 is worth less than any other firearm in my ownership.

I don't have plans to get rid of it anytime soon.

My grandfathers model 60 Winchester 22. Wouldn't bring $20 at an auction, but you don't have enough money to get me to sell it.

I think no guns are worthless.

I cut a break action 10 gauge down. Now it is effectively useless AND worthless.

I think I like it!

Few years ago I bought a single shot boys rifle by the name of HOBAN, made in Salem, MI. It was a prize given to kids for selling so much Cloverine Salve. I paid $10.00 for it at a gun show. Just checked Gun Broker .com and see they are asking $200 plus for them now. I'll keep it for awhile longer.

This old S&W 38 special.



Normally, one of these would be fairly collectable but this one is in such rough shape and not a particularly rare variation so it’s really not worth much. However, it used to belong to my dad so to me the sentimental value is too great to ever get rid of it.

I have a single shot Lithgow .22 rifle that has very limited monetary value, but it means alot to me because it was the first gun that my oldest son learned to shoot with.

My most worthless gun is my intratech 22 sport. It always jams, it isn't accurate at all and I've broken three firing pins in the stupid thing. It doesn't have much market value but it does look cool hanging on the inside of my gunsafe.

Beretta 34 made in 1943 with Italian Army marks

I wouldn't consider it worthless, and I have a handful of guns that have sentimental value, heck most of mu guns do for some reason or another, but the one at the top of that list is my grandpa's Ruger Standard. It's not worth a ton of money and it is an excellent shooting pistol, I just hate that Ruger cheaped out and put those horrible fixed sights on it.

Ithaca lever-operated single shot .22 with a cat piss stain on the barrel and a stock that looks like it just barely escaped a sawmill alive.
My grampa gave it to me for my 16th birthday.

RG .22Short revolver. It was a fun, relatively quiet camping toy with CB caps. Companion to a 'Wham-O' Wrist Rocket Sling Shot.

A single shot Wards Hercules 12 gauge my wife's grandfather owned and traded to my dad for $3 and a pile of scrap steel long before I was born. There was a bulge in the barrel at 19 inches so it has been cut down and the bead reinstalled. All the finish was gone so the metal has been rattlecanned with Rustoleum satin black. About a 3rd of the butt plate is missing and the stock is very short so I only touch it off from the hip. With 00 it throws an 8 to 9 " pattern at 7 paces.

Priceless

I have a Grendel P10 that's probably not worth much and I have no intention of getting rid of it. To whom would I get rid of it?
But, the one that probably most fits this question is probably a Savage-Stevens M89 .22 (Short, Long, or Long Rifle) rifle I picked up around 1987 for $30, at a gun show. I think that was either the only year that were made, or one of only two or three years they were made. Maybe six or eight years ago, I saw some listed for around $200 on some sites in good condition. It's a single-shot, falling-block action that is made to look like a lever gun, even with a faux magazine tube beneath the barrel. I used to enjoy shooting CB caps from it when I was the only house on my street and could get away with it. Who knows; might one day soon be used to "bring my daughter (now four years old) around."

Edit: Thought of another.. Not at home right now, so I can't see the model number, but it's an old Savage single-shot 12 gauge someone gave me once. It was cut down at both ends by someone who had it many someones before him. He said he got it from his brother in Texas, fired it once, cut the snot out of his hand, and had no further use for it. Gave it to me in probably 1992. Buttstock is cut off, and the remainder of it wrapped in electrical tape. Barrel is right about 19 inches (OAL is still wthin legal limits.) No blueing on it left; I only took it because I thought I might take up blueing, and would use it as a practice piece. Never did, though (and never fired it, either.)
Won't get rid of it since I don't want to pollute a perfectly good lake or river. I've had it this long, so, whatever..

I'll have to say my single-shot Butler Derringer in .22 short. You have to cock the hammer, pull the trigger; then do it again in order to get it to fire. You have to pull the trigger twice on every round!! Is pretty funny. I paid $35 for it at a gun show, and would do it again. From self defense/reliability standpoint it's completely worthless; but I love whipping it out (not in public) and telling people it's my concealed carry handgun!! Hahaha.

My Chiappa 1911-22, wouldn't inflict it on Iran, bummer we don't have "gun buybacks" here.

I keep it to serve as a bad example about impulse purchases.

An absolutely ratty Remington 12 pump 22 that has a slightly ringed barrel but still shoots just fine. My deceased father in laws gun. Truly lucky to have a father in law as good as my own Daddy. As to the ringed barrel, story was he shot a frog in a mud puddle and stuck the barrel in the mud. It'll still shoot into less than an inch at 25 yards with the little buckhorn sights...go figure. Wouldn't take $500 for it..

Jennings J-22.

Bought it 30 years ago for SD when working the night shift a a Stop-n-Rob. Gave it to my Mom a few years later. I got it back when she passed away.

It shoots pretty well, but the safety is broke.

I have a FIE knockoff nylon 66 that barely works at all. But I got it for christmas when I was 14, it's not going anywhere.

I have a pair. A Colt 1908 vest pocket 25 acp and a Spanish knock off just like it the were both Gifts the Colt from my Step Grandfather and the Royal de Arms from my FIL. Both men meant a lot to me.

My Chiappa 1911-22

That's funny right there....

I have a Sears single shot 12 ga that was sawed off at 18.75 inches, had a broken butt-plate and not a square inch of finish left on it, bought it cheap 35.00 bucks afraid to shoot it, just serves as a reminder from my youth when the thought that one more gun is a good gun, (read quantity over quality).

I have a 12 bore purdey that is custom made for someone who is already dead. It isn't really a very good shotgun, practically speaking (low capacity, low pressure non-magnum loads only) and it's too long to use for home defense (i mean you could, but there's no reason to with a perfectly nice modern pump shotgun next to it). Its not exactly worthless, but it's sort of been superseded.

Dads Remington Model 33. I spent double what it's worth getting it reblued, sight reattached and stock fixed. Worth every penny after I found out it was bought for dad on the day he was born. It seems my Grandfather bought all 3 boys a 22 rifle on the day they were born. I've got all 3 now. One uncle had only a daughter that hates guns and the other never married. The other two are off getting refinished now. They aren't worth much more in monetary value, but all 3 are priceless to me.
