Smith & Wesson 916 pump 12 gauge. It constantly broke something and I finally sold it.

I once owned a Herter's over and under. Always breaking down. Gunsmith couldn't find parts after a couple fixes, told me to sell it to a collector. Might be worth something some day as an antique.


It's not always about catching fish. That's what people who don't catch fish usually say.

I bought a Romanian .22 at a little corner store that sold guns and groceries when I was in my 20’s. I hate it. Misfires occurred often. Bolt action screwed up. But due to sentimental reasons I can’t part with it.

Ruger 77 300 win mag. Another ruger that shot patterns not groups. Tried a lot of different loads. Same crap. Tried factory loads blew the heads of 2. Sent it to Ruger. They said it was fine. Had it remarried. Now it is fine

Stoeger 3500 22ga. Nice for a single shot semi auto. Would cycle but not extract the spent shell. Missed a lot of duck and geese. Tried different things different brands of shells but it still screwed up regularly. Finally got a newbolt head from Numerich gun parts. It has only jammed once in 3 seasons since that.
Would never ever recommend one.

Curious, what ammo you have been using? They will jam using any HP bullet but mine has been very reliable with Federal round nose.
One thing I did was check the mag well and feed ramp area for burrs and after a bit of lapping with a file I've had no issues with feeding.
Not saying your gun wasn't a bad one, there were known issues with them (magazines and chamber/feed ramp) which I think have been fixed now. My daughter just won one at a Delta waterfowl benefit and it has been good out of the box.


Just happy to be here.

REM 597, Not so much the gun but the mags were aggravating at best.
