Who made your particular Ruby? There was a great deal of quality variations among the many makers.. Some of them made under supervision by French procurers were a decent quality, if inexpensive, piece.Probably the ruby .32, It is a fun one. Cheap, mine has no finish except a weird patina that makes your hands smell metallic after shooting, but it likely fought the Great war, and the second war. It is a fun, cheap little beast that never fails to put a smile on my face. I would say it is probably the "worst" that I really like. Things I own are generally pretty oddball.
I've got a bolt 12ga made by Mossberg, was my first shotgun when I was in jr high.. don't like toting it around, too heavy, poor balance... never had the heart to get rid of it, for sentimental reasons... Can't recall the last time I actually fired it.. seem to remember that it sometimes had issues loading from the magazine too. It's one redeeming feature was the variable-choke that came with it (Probably the only reason I didnt bob the barrel back in the day)..A 20 gauge bolt action shotgun. What a stupid idea. I could never get it to feed right. I bought it from a member here and I don't hold it against him, as he told me the mag was junk, but I was going to prove him wrong. If any firearm deserves to be thrown off a bridge, that one certainly was.
I am embarrased by mine but I have shot speed events with it and it just keeps running and eats whatever you stuff into it.Hi point 9mm carbine. They are surprisingly fun to shoot and back when they sold for $100 on the second hand market, I used to trade them around.
I actually wouldn't mind adding one of the new 10mm ones to the stable.

Me and all my buddies all used to shoot the heck out of those Jennings .22's. They were pretty awesome and fun.Hate to bag on poor old deceased Sterling, but I bought a blue 302 in .22LR in 1974. All steel, it is far from the lightest. Its ergos are quite good. Once you find ammo it likes they empty mags without a stutter - true of virtually all 22s. Way back when I had the eyes of a young man, I placed a .22 rifle target at 25 yards. From prone, I got 5 out of 6 on the paper and they were in about a 3 1/2" group. Somewhere, I still have that target.
If only Jennings, Bryco, Jimenez et al had such durability.
I had one of those with like a 100" barrel. Shot a deer at about 15 yards with 00 buck.. never seen a deer fall so fast.I've got a bolt 12ga made by Mossberg, was my first shotgun when I was in jr high.. don't like toting it around, too heavy, poor balance... never had the heart to get rid of it, for sentimental reasons...

oh I know...I've spent many dollars in there...hobby car guys dont need snap on toolsI love harbor freight lol. For the amount I use my tools it would be foolish to buy more expensive brands.
