Last night I was going through my safe, rearranging the guns if for no other reason than to handle some I hadn't shot for a while. During the shuffling I decided to put those that never get handled to the very back of the safe so I don't have to work around them. It occurred to me that most people probably have some black sheep in their collection - something that they acquired somehow and now can't pay to get rid of, or that just never sees the light of day.
I have two - one is a Crosman pellet rifle which is supposedly pretty powerful when pumped up. My Father-in-law bought it to dispatch squirrels. I inherited it when he passed and I think I've fired it maybe once. For an air rifle it's pretty decent so I keep it around.
The other is a Coast-to-Coast brand .22 semi-automatic rifle, which I understand is eqivalent to a Savage 7J. The rifle is absolutely reliable - I can count on it to jam at least once per magazine. I tried to sell it to a local FFL but he waved his hand at his overpopulated rack of used .22 rifles and said he really didn't want any more. I keep praying for the local gun-grabbers to fund a buyback program so I can turn this turkey into some cash.
So now I'm curious - what's the red-headed stepchild of your gun collection?(no offense to red-headed stepchildren)
