Rifles you are glad you never bought in the first place
Not one you regret buying, but the one you wanted so bad, did not buy, and are damn glad now that you didnt.
SCAR Way over-engineered for a combat rifle. Only fame was "SOCOM". However they dropped it within 10 years. FNFAL Always wanted one but was scared to buy one do to their reputation of being finicky. At least the Century I think. But it does have historical significance if your a collector. |

I can't so much say the rifle but the frigging calibers for the rifles. Holy sheet every NRA rag mag I get their is a new caliber that shoots flatter goes further and hits harder than a diesel locomotive.
"This is the last caliber you will ever ever need." Six months later 10 million rifles sold in that caliber? No WAIT you got to try this new cartridge it's a hundred times better..

The 6.? debates drove me nuts. Then the " i bet we can chamber anAR in this. Even if it costs 3.75 a round and never reliability feeds." I say that because somewhere deep down I've always kinda wanted an ar in 458. I can feel your pain |

For me, it is the HK-91. How I drooled over the ad on the back of Soldier of Fortune Magazine.
Then they had one at the gun store that had the telescoping stock. I'd stop in and fondle it once in a while. Such firearms were not popular back then, so sat on the shelf for a long time. Never did buy one, but when I was in the Army in Germany, I got to shoot some W. German HK G-3 rifles. After shooting them, I didn't want the HK-91 anymore. Didn't care for the G-3, either. I do have an FAL built on a Century R1 upper. Its been 100% reliable except with some very old surplus Santa Barbara ammo which wouldn't run in anything. I wound up pulling the entire case of ammo, dumping the powder and loading it back up with some fresh powder. Worked fine after that.

None. I will ALWAYS want one of each, regardless.

Semi-auto replica Thompson .45 SMG.
Wanted a Tommy gun so bad, but so glad I never pulled the trigger on the purchase.

I have never in fifty years lost $$$ on a rifle that was purchased for resale.
Over those years I collected most of what many have only dreamt of. Fact. I am down to only a very small number of what I once had....those blackpowder and other cowboy guns have my attention now.  rarely come out from under my bed anymore... they cost WAAAAY to much to warm up anymore.

I had my eye on a Ruger 10/22.
So glad I didn't buy it. It would've just burned up in that horrible parabolic reflector accident I had. I dodged the bullet that day. |

Remington 3200 over/under shotgun. Heavy pig.
Wish I had never bought an AR10. Heavy pig. Beretta Tomcat. Junker. Remington 742. Bad design. Inaccurate and unreliable (had 3 of them). M14 and M1A. They were a great gun and I like them with peep sights, but they are obsolete in the time of optics on battle rifles. Marlin 1895 45-70. Kicked the shit out of me with 1800 fps 400 grain loads. Heym bolt action .600 NE. Kicked the shit out of me. Plus would only feed FMJ.

I shot more then enough double rife while working @EuroGun Imports. I remember the father partner in the company was giddy about it coming in as he wanted it for himself. The day it came in he calledaout coming over & checking out his new rifle. Looking it over I didn't want no part of it. Luckily he hadit pretty much sold on arrival. |
