Don't shoot it. The rest of your guns will suffer as a result.

And now I'm afraid to give it to someone. I guess it needs to be destroyed. But wait! What if that makes it worse?!! Like destroying a ouija board. Guess it's mine forever...

Back in the day my Charter Arms AR7 (this was 1983) was the most problematic and disappointing firearm I ever owned. I had high hopes for it and (prior to it breaking for good in under 12 months) I don't think it emptied a complete magazine without a malfunction !! At the time I also had a Rossi .22 pump (Gallery Rifle) that put the AR7 to shame !!!!!!!!

I think you're safe as long as you:

1) Sprinkle it with Holy Water once a month;
2) Store if FAR FAR away from any FUNCTIONAL guns;
3) Do not touch it with bare hands;
4) Do not touch any other firearm you want to function after handling said Rossi;
5) Instruct, in your Last Will & Testament, that it be buried with you thus entombing the cursed thing.

ETA: You might want to have it buried with you in a lead lined locked box lest the beast escape.

AR7 = massive fail.

I'm doing well unloading my extra guns, but still need to move a lot!

Lol ok I'll just take it out of the safe and look at how pretty it is. I have a rossi 45/70 lever that has been rock solid since I cleaned all the cosmoline out of it. I think that they can be hit or miss but fof the price I am willing to risk it for a range toy. If it proves to be reliable I plan on doing some white tail hunting with it.

What else do you have to shift Arch?

+ Leupold CQ/T in a LaRue Mount and with a Cat Tail

+ HK P2000

+ Ruger 10/22 with TRS-200 Tech Sights

+ FN SCAR-17

+ Ruger Mini-14 Tactical

+ Steyr AUG A3 M1 with Factory 3x Optic

Yeah, I know.

Tell me about the 10/22. PM me if needed.

Adam,
PM inbound.

You're unloading a SCAR? I think I may be going into shock!
