Worst Rifle (civilian) ever made?

Since Taurus doesn’t make rifles and military only rifles are out, what rifle is the worst ever made?

Edit
The fit and finish on my Traditions muzzleloader caplocks was terrible. But onced tinkered into serviceability they shoot accurately and reliably.

Really haven't handled a complete POS rifle so far; many had some design faults, poor material in some parts or assorted problems (Not considering the occasional "lemons") but pretty much can be eventually be solved by repairing/replacing parts or just avoided by using the gun under certain conditions.

Eventually most issues could be more or less "solved" by a combination of polishing/tweaking some internal parts, using a good lube for the action to run smooth and restricting to CCLRNHV ammo only.
Currently only know of one still working in the hands of the original owner who knows about its issues but still is fond of it since it hasn't failed him in plinking and hunting situations. The rest have pretty much disappeared, probably sold to remote areas hunters or just trashed.
Maybe those rifles could be considered as one of the poorly-made rifles produced lately.

Rifle led was garbage. One of the few firearms I've gotten rid of over the years.

Most frustrating rifle I ever had.

Everyone who's been paying attention knows how I feel about the 88s. However, the only person I knew who had a model 100 complained of it jamming on him. That's really all I know about it.
Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
