The SKS isn’t appropriately scaled for the 7.62x39 either lol.

You got any more drawings?
How does the thing lock? Tilting barrel or the Remington thing? My guess would be that if Remington didn't have to avoid the patents they would have made the barrel tilt, or at least a solid slide. I'm a little foggy on how the "hesitation lock" thingy works, but I think the slide being in parts had a hand in that.
The thing looks cool, just don't know how this hybrid 1911/Remington 53 thing would work.
Do you intend on trying to make it?

You know a Semi-Lewis gun would be kinda cool
I fantasize over an AR with handguard past the muzzle, vented only at rear for the muzzle blast to pull cooling air through.

It would used Pedersen's locking system used in the Remington Model 51. Since this system allows the barrel to be fixed and immobile, it has the potential for better accuracy. How it works is fairly straight forward. Using the cartridge case as a piston, the breech block is allowed to move rearward about 0.085" before it is stopped by the locking recesses in the frame. As the breech block moves rearward, it carries the slide with it, imparting the slide with some velocity. Once the breech block stops, the slide moves back for another 0.10" or so then picks up the breech block similar to an SKS or FAL, and completes the cycle.
There is also an added benefit of allowing the barrel line to be much lower to the grip and reducing flip.
The only major Browning patent used is the magazine release. The Browning designed magazine release is ridiculously simple, and really can't be beat.
Yes, I have many of the part drawings at least started. And yes, I plan on making one, some day . . .

I trust you are omitting the grip safety and see you are returning the thumb safety. (I once read that the prototype started out with a thumb safety but it was removed for the last round of Navy trials. There is a round plug in the right position.)
There are so many brands and nithling little variations of 1911 magazine, you might do better to have your own. Maybe from a S&W 945,

Wow, you know never thunked that before.. But it would be cool (ouch bad pun).. I wonder if you would want to fin barrel attachment under the shroud or you would be happy with just pulling the air over the barrel. I can not imagine younger folks putting up with that extra weight of the radiator fin attachment?? Part 78..

JP has a line of finned aluminum barrel radiators, somebody is humping them.

Is there a shield that goes over these???

Actually, the grip safety of the Pedersen stays in the depressed position when the hammer is down. All the thumb safety did was pull the grip safety to the depressed position, or lock it depressed, depending on whether the hammer was cocked or not. And to simplify the design, that basic feature would be retained. The Pedersen safety axis is the hammer pin, the "round plug" seen on the Model 53 is the hammer pin, the removal of the safety lever actually complicates the retention hammer pin.

Those will fit under a "standard" free float hand guard.

I figured that the thumb safety of my PA51 only blocked out the grip safety but never looked inside.

A simple, start request. Walther PPQ45 with a paddle magazine release.

Having recently bought a 1981 Dan Wesson 15-2V6 357 makes me wish Ruger would make a GP100 model with interchangeable barrels like the DW revolvers. The ability to change barrel length and set the B/C gap in a couple minutes is a great feature. CZ/DW offers a stainless model 715 with these features. The patent has expired and I think it would sell if not over priced.

I’d like a compact Glock (G19 size) in .22LR with 15+ round magazines

My error, I got the directions backward. It just blocks the grip safety from being depressed.
But if the hammer is down, the grip safety stays depressed.

I thought so.
It almost made me willing to carry my PA51 unlocked and depend on the grip safety like a P7 squeeze cocker or the present XD.
Almost, but not quite.

But to get the guys dream I think it has to be a solid Shield that forces the air to go out the front and get pulled in through the back I would a thinks that the shield would have to go just past the barrel to get this effect..
By the way Those are cool heat fins..Have you seen any true testing of them..??

I didn’t read through everything so somebody may have mentioned this already. I’d like to see Ruger use the LCR build materials to make 6, 7, or 8 shot 38s and/or 357. Same thing in 32 Mag and/or 327. I’d like to see Kimber do so as well.
Basically I’d like some more increased capacity revolver options, particularly with lightweight materials.
