Someone gave me a Winchester 290 semi-auto .22 rifle which was rusted. When I brought it to my favorite gun shop to have it cleaned up they told me that they won't repair that gun because it is notoriously unreliable and will probably break again after a short time. Is this true? Is it a piece of junk?
