Lemons

[shooter@5(4)life]

The S&W 642 and a 686 I own had a few issues when I bought them. I sent them back to S&W and they fixed them and as of this date haven't had any other problems with either of them since. It in no way soured my faith in S&W revolvers. My dealer even told me these were the first S&W revolvers that he has ever had to send back. Just my bad luck (story of my life)!LOL............... And sorry guys these aren't on the Trademark shooter@5(4)life big piece of cardboard(I was lazy)LOL...............

I bought a keltec p3at (.380acp) for situations when I can't do the holster carry such as when wearing suits...which are meant to be tight fitting. Anyway the gun won't cycle hollowpoints and always jams after every shot.

I did a little research and you gotta do some kind of "fluffing" or modding ect so I just said screw it I'll just load it with ball point ammo as those fed reliable.

I bought a P3AT a while back and had terrible jamming. Tried the fluff and buff, but had no confidence that a little sanding with 440 grit could make a difference. But it did. An hour of pretty enjoyable work, and that little pistol never jammed again. I sold it and bought a PF9, did the fluff and buff first thing, I've never had a single malfunction. So if you like Kel Tecs, don't be afraid, the fluff and buff works, and it's a good, "pleased to meet you" exercise to have with your new gun.

Does any gun from Century count or are they all expected to be lemons?

Indy_Guy_77; "I had big issues with the Springfield EMP that I had for a little while. THAT saga has been posted here a couple of times, though. Long story short, Springfield replaced the slide. I made sure that the gun ran 100% and sold it, with full disclosure of the issues, to a fellow board member. As of right now, he's absolutely tickled pink with the pistol and hopefully will continue to be!"

And it still runs at 100%

These were my wife's and I "his and hers", still have them in the safe and still love them as much as the day we bought them, I upgraded to G19, but she still sports the 642!

1. Taurus PT945- Absolute turd. It never made it through a mag without a jam. Traded it off on a Ruger P95.

2. Century Cetme- Had frequent feeding problems and I couldn't get the front sight to move. Sold.

3. Century Golani- Would not extract cases, resulting in many damaged rounds. Sent back to factory, they fixed it, worked great. Sold.

4. Hesse H94- One of the few roller operated MP5 clones he did, frequent feeding problems. Sold.

Has there ever been anything good from Hesse? I don't believe I've ever heard a good thing about them.

olympic arms lower.... missed an entire pass when cutting out the mag well... have to pull mags out with some degree of effort... thinking about taking a file and cutting the grove deeper.

Century Arms 87 ultra 12 guage
basically its a replica of a remington 870 12 gauge. This thing is a piece. I have put so many remington parts in it the only thing that will be century arms after I am done is the receiver. All the guts will be remington maybe even the barrel and buttstock. Its a jamomatic :wtf:

a PUMP action that jamms? that just seems odd.

None would feed reliably. Didn't experience the great customer service many brag about.

Ruger 77 Mark II VT 308 Winchester - the chamber was so far oversized the base of the brass wouldn't fit in a Redding or RCBS sizing die. "Built to specifications".
