Thinking about really hating a gun, for science (and my sanity)

I'm kind of tired of everyone on the internet hating on guns they've never really handled, or the "I tried it once" types. <br><br>I own a couple of the most hated guns on earth (I'm looking at you, poor Remington R51), and some of them I do truly despise, like my EAA Witness. <br><br>However, my goal is to buy a gun that is widely considered to be terrible, use it until it breaks, and then fix it myself. Over and over. <br><br>The prime candidates are the Cimarron single action pistols (most of which are made by Uberti), and the Remington Model 610.<br><br>My goal is to buy it, shoot it 10,000 rounds or until it breaks, and then fix it myself. My mom is a geologist, so I've been around rock quarries my entire life, and I have plenty of places to shoot without worrying about taking the occasional week off.<br><br>Once I break it really good, I'll do my best to fix it myself. If that fails, I'll take it to a competent gunsmith to fix really good. <br><br>I really want to be able to say, fairly, what is wrong with a gun, and really understand how they break. <br><br>I'm in the military, and deploying soon, but if y'all are still around when I get back, we're going to find out for sure how bad these guns really are.<br><br>Anyway, that's my goal, and I really hope y'all are around when I get back.<br><br>Until then, stay safe and keep your powder dry.<br><br>Edit: Yeah, I know they're "too big and clunky", the .350 Legend is in the "wrong" order, and really isn't a good idea, etc. <br><br>That's why I'm doing it.<br><br>I want to know really, really well what is wrong with it, and I want to see how difficult it is to actually fix or replace parts.
