So, in the interest of starting a new thread I was thinking about all the guns I have owned and the only one I ever parted with, which I gave away. I'm sure we all have that one gun (or many in some people's case) that was just such a wonderful piece of equipment that it was cast off quickly or went to the scrap pile.
For me it was a Squires Bingham 22 semi-auto rifle that I bought at Gemco (yes it was that long ago). It would not close the bolt into battery after about 15 shots but would fire the unseated casing and blow out the side of a 22 casing without ejecting it when fired. As I told the friend I gave it to, "It does't totally suck" which has become sort of a mantra for most things in my life that I could seriously do without.
What quality relics have you folks owned that you won't admit to?
