Guns You Wanted To Love, but just couldn't...
For me it was the West Coast Armory SIG SG551.

Basically they took that SIG 556 we all hated, slapped a correct lower on it. But while it looked like the SG551 we all wanted, it still had a scope rail riveted to a stamped receiver, still had a crap barrel, still had bolt on diopter sights that felt like Chinesiusm. And you couldn't even put a sling on the damn thing without creating a folding stock mousetrap.
They also weren't cheap. WCA did a limited run of 250 and if I remember correctly they were about $2,499.00 sometime around 2008. Thankfully for me I sold mine for about what I paid for it before the genuine Swiss 551 handguns started being imported.
Really thought it was gonna be a grail gun, but it was a poor performer with a high price. I was lucky enough to get a real Swiss 551 shortly after.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
