We often list our favorite types-patterns of rifles and handguns, but I thought it would be cool to list the stuff that for whatever reason we just don't
like......no intent to start a "war" but just personal opinions or tastes-
My list is:
Most Japanese stuff- I tried to "expand" into this area and bought a T-26 revolver, a T-38 rifle and a T-99, also went after a Murata and a few other rifles like a T-99 long rifle and a T-38 carbine but never got them.T-26 revolver never did anythng for me, the DA only and rough trigger precluded it as a shooter, and I think it had been altered to fire .38 S&W so thus was not original. I sold everything except the T-99, which I kept for many reasons, such as it is an early rifle with all the stuff like AA sights, chrome line bore, and it's a very sweet shooter and it was a bringback, with the duffel cut. I also wanted one "representative" Japanese piece, not so much because of my affection for anything Japanese but just because it had "been there" and was obviously toted home by a serviceman after the war so I like to hold onto it as a "trophy". I have no plans to buy anything else Japanese, not even one of the many 30-06 converted hacked up sporters that litter my gun shop racks for $150, IMO not even worth that as a shooter. Passed on several Nambus as gun shows, had the money just didn't want them.
