The first one I bought brand new (lever) wouldnt even function with any ammo the shop had, the second replacement was just barely better and it shot like a mad womens shit.
Dad traded my birthright Lambergun on a rossi singleshot 308 and then got his not gunsmith mate to shorten and homemade suppress it......fail to fire regularly but no warranty as shortened,broke internal part....end of story many hours spent and fixed it myself but it is still a hunk of junk compared to that Lambergun that to this day was the only shotty I ever shot well with.

that is a tale or terror to be sure...... moral of story ...and this one is an old moral...if you are lucky enough to find a shotgun that fits PROPERLY ...do not under ANY circumstances sell it.

3/4" tubed scopes for rimfires
Savage combination rifle/shotgun

Yea it didn't fit "properly' but I shot well with it, thought it fit untill I went claybird shooting in a work team thing..shot well and surprised even myself but couldnt speak properly afterwards it had hammered my cheek so hard.

Remington Nylon 66.
Amazingly they are popular inside the arctic circle as they function well in subzero conditions.
Which is handy for trappers shooting things point blank.

Remington electronic primer system comes to mind.

Also Ruger rings, why can’t they use a generic system?

The H &K Case less cartridge assault rifle.
The bullet is embedded into a squarish solid propellant , with electric ignition system.
When they finished developing the prototype they realized that after a couple of mags down through it the chamber was so hot that they were cooking off .
Conclusion, get back to good old brass cases

That was the G11

Plastic bolt shrouds ?
Saves so little weight but makes an unbreakable part weak when dropped on the ground and so unaesthetic with no functional advantage.

Timber an blued steel. Honestly, why would anyone bother when we have light rigid composites and stainless that behave well with moisture?

You'll see plenty of sign around action screws and scopemount areas.

YES ! The curved screw slot. NONE of your 20 screwdrivers can fit & turn it without gouging. And its dimensioned to take a nickel or shilling or the rim of a .303 Brit. Only Din Collings himself could ever have turned it cleanly.

Fixed with a hacksaw blade of appropriate gauge and an impact(!) driver and 4-pound hammer.

Good point. I now have to admit that I have met this species, in fact I see one everyday when I look in the mirror.

My AR 15 riser block has a chip out of one large slot screw where I goofed.
