Alright, looking at these lists, please PM me with your offer of how much you will pay me to take your unwanted guns.

All offers considered!!!


Incidentally, I don't yet have enough guns to dislike any one of them.

It's my dream one day that I'll have so many guns, I'll dislike them all cause no single one is "perfect"!! :p

There was a time that I vowed never to get rid of any guns that I had paid money for. After all I bought them for SOME reason, right? In the last year I've put up quite a few at GunBroker, just to get rid of them because they were second rate. By that I mean they were Taurus, Savage, or there was something about them that bothered me when I shot them. I never regret getting rid of them and from now on, I only buy the guns I really want.
 
my yugo 59/66 SKS because I paid a little too much for it and WAY too much trying to turn it into a black rifle. First long gun impulse reaction I guess. It is a good rifle but I superseded it with a saiga 7.62x39. Moral is you can't turn a SKS into an AK.

A little less enamored with my S&W 915 9mm than others. It is a little plain jane but it is THE go to home hand gun. Feels good in my hand, like the balance, feeds any kind of 9mm ammo (reliable), more accurate than I am, 15 rounds of comfort there.

I have 4 hand guns and 4 long guns so far. No out and out I HATE YOU in the bunch as far as lemons go.
 
Another vote for the Yugo SKS. Bought it before I got the AK. The darn thing has never shot straight, all related to the gas valve. And since I love my AK, the SKS would just eat up the AK's food. Kinda like having one worthless dog, and one good dog...it makes you hesitant to waste resources on the worthless one.

To top it off, I paid a little too much for it.
 
New Walther PPS First Edition. Got it as soon as it came out several months back. Never was reliable. Piece of crap. Sent it back to S&W, they test fired it and said it was fine. I haven't shot it since I got it back.
 
There's an AMT Backup 380 in the safe that I despise. The firing pin barely hits hard enough, the trigger is horrendous, the safety is located with a total disregard for human anatomy, it has tool marks all over, it is almost impossible to strip for cleaning, and it cuts up the web of my hand if I don't grip it just right.

The only nice thing about it is it's small size. That's probably why I haven't destroyed it, it doesn't take up too much room in the safe.
 
I would adore my MkIII but the trigger is crap and field stripping require a third hand and brass cajones.

I am not bagging on my Yugo SKS. After I got ALL the cosmoline cleaned out it is an enjoyable as surprisingly damn accurate rifle. I paid 300 but it is a cherry import that truly was unfired and unissued. Wood and metal perfect although a first I was a little concerned about the plum tone of the receiver but found out later that is the way it is and somewhat desirable. My beef is it was an impulse buy and I added tapco stock, 4 duckbill magazines, scout mount, modest red dot to a gun that maybe should of been left as is. With the tapco adjustable stock it is the only rifle my 11 year old can shoot comfortably so it still has a place in my collection. Nothing I did to it couldn't be reversed so I still have hope it will appreciate in value. Prices have risen already in the year I have had it.

I have a little mixed feelings about my bersa 380 conceal carry. The little guy has something of a rodney dangerfield persona (no respect at all) with its argentine manufacture and smaller caliber. I like it but some friends keep ragging on it.
 
Firearms I have but don't like get sold at the gun show

Once I discovered this little trick I was free to buy guns that i thought I might possibly like but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money
 
I no longer have any firearms I hate. And I do not plan on getting rid of anymore firearms either.

I do have some that I have no real pride of ownership.
I have three Glocks, 17, 19, 21. I shoot them alot, but if they where to get lost, stolen, etc I would not shed a tear. I would go out and replace them, but I would do it the same way I replace my pants when they wear out. They are tools.
 
+1 with Ala Dan.

I don't buy any that I don't like for some reason or another. Where any of mine have an aspect that I don't like ... for instance the 642 is not much fun to shoot ... it is overridden by the aspects I do like.
 
The only one that I have and don't care for is an ArmaLite AR-10A4 SPR.
I'm sure it's a fine rifle, but it gets no love from me - it's unfired.
I think I have a buyer, so I will most likely get another M14, AK or Glock soon :)
 
I have one left that I dispise because I dont know how to fix it. I have an H&R 199 that catches brass under the push up ring. Probably just worn out, but I cant seem to find a replacement part so I guess this one has earned my ire.
 
I have a few SKSs. I don't particularly like my Norincos. so-so accuracy, terrible triggers, and they just don't do it for me anymore. I'll hold onto them because they're still fairly cheap to shoot and are good guns to introduce new shooters with.

I'm not real fond of my Taurus PT-111. I hate the DAO trigger and the gun's so light, its noet really pleasant to shoot, but its small and light and its an OK carry gun, so I'll keep it too.
 
BT-99 old model 34". Heavy, balance didn't work for my body, never could shoot it as well as I'd hoped at handicap distances. Sold it.

10/22. Blech. Unreliable feeding, picky about ammo, inaccurate. Sold it to avoid the common temptation to put $500 more into making it a satisfactory rifle.

Mosin carbines. Have 2. Don't like much, but will probably keep; not a lot of cash tied up in them:) . Got a big muzzle brake from a friend; he said a friend of his machined a bunch and he found it in a drawer. Maybe with the brake, I'll like it better. Otherwise, they don't really do it for me like they do for others.

Milsurps in general. I bought a bunch, and I never shoot them. I like having them as curios, and they're cheap so I don't feel too prodigal about buying them, but I'm not all that excited about them as firearms.

Most everything else, I've liked and actually do shoot. Muzzleloaders, cap-n-ball revolvers, Mini-14, whatever.

I do have an old Mossberg rear tube feed .22 semiauto. It's really accurate, but doesn't always feed happily and the trigger is not great. But it's the first cartridge gun I ever owned (got it as a teen) and still in 99% condition, so I doubt I'll ever part with it, whether or not I shoot it.
 
Sigma 9mm

Don't get me wrong, it is a decent little gun sitting on my hip at the moment. I am just not a fan of the striker fired/Glock style pistol. Give me steel and wood any day. The price was attractive...250 with the rebate, came with 2 mags, the gun store threw one in and I'll get 2 more from S&W as part of their special.

Hoping to use it as trade fodder at some point for a nice revolver or two. Eying some S&W L frames for carry.

Roger that...I'd call that a keeper for sure :)

Take care,

My Glocks.

They do nothing for me. I just hold onto them because they have regular-capacity magazines and are banned here in CA.
 
My mark3 target. why i dont like it? its a pain in the azz to take apart and its not as accurate as other 22s i own

beretta 9000s Why? i wish i would have gooten it in 9mm not 40 even tho i like the 40caliber in other guns

taurus pt1911. why? its a cheap knockoff of an american stalple but i bought it for a reason and that is so i could scratch it or drop it int he woods and i wont care

s&w 19 5inch 357. why? its old and needs a tune up theres nothing wrong with this model if they work well but mine dosnt

keltec p3at why? mine works fine never a ftf or fte or misfire but its just a cheap piece and i dont feel comfortable with it on my belt

but if i dont like so many of my guns then i sure you want to know why i dont sell or trade them

well would you sell any of your kids even if they arnt all you hoped they would be
