Gun and gear reviews What's your biggest, "what was I thinking?"

mine has to be the Hunt Group MH12. double barreled pump sounds fun on paper, but it's just so heavy. with the fixes stocked it weights 16.1 lbs. it's just so big.

Mine was the SVT-40 I got back in 2019 when decent ones were running like $800-$1200 there was a seller on CGN one that was obviously bubba'd the fuck out for like $500. I bought it just so I could expand my soviet collection and thinking that maybe if it's already bubba'd I could do something stupid with it without feeling guilty about ruining a good one... There was so much more bubba than what you could see in the picture, top handguard was held on with 4 staples, the bottom handguard had been smashed and "fixed" with what looked like brown flex seal. They'd cut the barrel down, removing the front sight, and replaced it with a brass shotgun bead sight. The magazine spring was so blown out it only had enough tension to feed a single round if it had 5 rounds in it. It was also missing the bolt hold open mechanism. None of this was disclosed in the listing.
