Marlin Model 60's.
The only complaint I've ever heard is the inability to swap out the barrel, and AFAIK that's veering away from the true nature of the beast.

as a lefty, I get to complain about a lot of guns not being very south paw friendly. Even if a left hand model is made, it is generally quite rare and more expensive.
They're out there. They do exist. But good luck finding one.
IMHO every gun has it's flaws. Generally the flaws that people find are silly. Or they are quality control issues (like my last 870).
Lots of the gun buying public are idiots who don't train enough and then complain when their $1000 rifle/scope combo performs like a $300 combo. Or they don't maintain their firearms enough which leads to inaccurate or unreliable firearms.
My point is there is no perfect firearm, but a good portion of flaws found are in the user.

You don't hear too many bad words about Freedom Arms revolvers, except for the price.
I suspect people that complain about the price of a gun also complain about the price of a dozen eggs.

Re: Least Bashed.
Red Ryder BB Gun
Smith & Wesson Model 10, and Winchester Model 94 I agree with.
Colt Detective Special and Marlin 336s are two others...still...of all the guns I can think of, a Red Ryder just seems to have the least bashing.
Even folks not really into guns, have positive memories of that gun.
Think about it. No caliber war, as it is just a BB gun.
Memories of little boys and little girls with parents, or grandparents, with that gun. Oh these same boys and girls may grow up and not be into guns, hunting, or anything else. Heck, they may turn out to be anti's...just the memory of a parent or grandparent and "that Red Ryder" and "I can do it", "my turn, my turn"...etc.,
Heck even the anti's know one of the most posted movies quotes...

I've never heard anyone bash the Browning Superposed. If someone trashes them they are not worth listening to.
The Mauser 98 and M1 are basically unbashable as well.
The Mosin Nagant gets bashed but really doesn't deserve it.
Everyone knows my 1911 affinity so I won't mention them too much . I've got one made in 1918 I'd trust as far as any other gun I own. It has never malfunctioned in any way and has eaten everything I've ever fed it--that isn't bad for a 90yr old gun.
I think it is pretty hard to trash the Colt Single Action for pure staying power.

Dang, that's another good answer. I have my childhood one still, and it still shoots well. Plus it's a classic design - I've never seen a "prettier" air gun.
PS on the model 10/ Ur-M&P: it has a real place in my heart because it is the only gun I've ever shot an off-hand one-hole five shot group with. It wasn't a fixed sight gun, it wasn't a target model, it was this 1942 Navy Victory. AND it was double action! These guns make you a better shot than you really are.

Model 25 you say?
Why don't we wait until the first Tuesday of July, and post a Red Ryder vs Model 25 vs <enter make /model of BB gun> thread to show our appreciation to moderators around here, by giving them a headache?
*sticks tongue out*
Seriously, we need a fun thread with Red Ryders, and other simple BB guns, with it being summer and doing stuff with kids and family.

Nope! There's always someone out there with a complaint about it, especially if it's ever been an issued weapon.

Let's see, S&W Sigmas get some negative discussion time -- Taurus gets some -- more for their semi autos than their wheelguns, Glock and their infamous bore axis and history of kb!'s and maybe the many fine guns from Lorcin and Davis.
I think as boards grow and membership increases, you'll find fans for most everything but rest assured, there is crap out there and people will buy that crap and some will like it.

S&W Model 15, Ruger Security Six, and Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt. Each one is a different view of perfection. (I own all 3, so maybe I'm biased -- notice that they are all revolvers )
BHP almost makes the list, and the M1 Garand.

NEGATORY.... someone will always have something bad to say about every gun...
on the same note, someone will always have something good to say about the biggest piece of **** in production... just the human nature to look for the worst in things and somehow the best in others....

Ma Duce. Well, that is, if you'er not on the wrong end of her.
I will put that one to rest right now... they are pieces of crap that eat themselves from the inside out.. worth the 80 bucks you would pay at a pawn shop and not a cent more...accurate considering they are semi-auto...but inconvenient to load and reload.
if you cannot tell.. I am more of a 10/22 guy...

The 10/22 is junk compared to the 77/22s so lets not go there. I love Rugers though the GP100, MKII, and 77/22 near perfection in my book!

Honestly, the Liberator pistol mention is remarkable.
An expedited design, pumped out on the cheap, raining from the sky, for free, so tyrannized Jews and other minorities can execute Nazis.
That's a good gun.

My BHP should not have came with a mag disconnect and my Marlin 39A fails to eject one round per magazine...
Luckily each one is definitely fixable..although I'm going to leave the BHP alone. The mag disconnect does not bother me.

Single Shot shotguns.
Oh, wait. They usually "kick like a mule."
So much for that idea.
