Another 'what firearm do you wish they made' thread....

[rbernie]

This past weekend, I chrono'ed my pet 35 Remington load out of a 20" Marlin 336, pushing a 200gr bullet at 2250fps muzzle velocity and a trajectory of +-3" out past 200 yards.

So this evening, I was cleaning my ARs and thought to myself, "You know - I wish that somebody made an eight pound AR10-pattern rifle chambered in 35 Remington. What a great brush rifle that would be....".

<sigh>

 

[just one question]

I wish

I wish they made a springfield GI in 9mm, and a M1 carbine in 9mm. A M1 garand in 223 or 7.62/39 would be good also (cheap ammo)

 

[Low-Sci]

I wish they made a compact pistol designed for concealed carry that had a red-dot reticle built into the slide that pops up and turns on when you flick the safety off. Keeps the profile minimal until you intend to expose your weapon anyway, and makes a quickdraw a little faster for the less-trained.

 

[Husker1911]

10mm semi-automatic carbine that utilizes 15-round Glock magazines. Oooo baby!!

 

[Nashmack]

16.25" barreled carbine weighing in at or around 6-6.5 pounds chambered for .454 Casull, with detatchable mags with hi-cap mags as an option. Handy deer rifle, and the potential to be a very potent bedside gun...

 

[el44vaquero]

I high quality S&W revolver with wood grips, blued metal, and no internal lock. *sigh*

 

[Sephiroth]

Not so much a pistol, but a 20 or even 30 round magazine for semi auto .22LR rimfires. I know they can do it.

 

[Nashmack]

Sephiroth, you can get Eagle 30 rounders for the Ruger 10/22

 

[roscoe]

Compact stainless takedown lever gun in .454 for a reasonable price.

 

[real_name]

I want one of those magic guns that I dream about occasionally, infinite ammo and guaranteed accuracy.
Combine that with the 'finger gun' I had when I was six years old for concealment considerations and we have the ultimate gun.

[Sephiroth]

Don't they make 16" barrel and shoulder stock upper recievers for 1911's? I've seen them somewhere....

Oh yeah. This. http://www.mechtechsys.com/1911.html

 

[Chief 101]

I wish they made a SBH with a 10" bbl....oh wait a minute, they do and I have one...never mind. Chief

 

[Limeyfellow]

Don't they make 16" barrel and shoulder stock upper recievers for 1911's? I've seen them somewhere....

Yes they do. There are a few kits to choose from such as Mech-Tech that go for about $250.

http://www.mechtechsys.com/

There are others out there but they all pretty much use the same methods and various kits for other handguns such as glocks and so on.

I'd like to see a reasonably-priced FN-FAL clone in .30-06.

[evan price]

Phased plasma rifle, in the forty-watt range...

I know, I know, just what I see here....

 

[bruss01]

I see someone already got stainless takedown leveraction - but I choose the .357 for the chambering.

How about resurrecting the TimberWolf .357 and .44mag pump actions - in stainless? Much easier to feed thru the bottom (like a shotgun) than the loading gate on Taurus' soon-to-be-released Thunderbolt.

And the Coonan .357 automatic? (1911-based semi-auto chambered in .357 magnum). Certainly a thing of beauty and much less unwieldly than the gas operated Desert Eagle in that chambering. In stainless, of course.

If you guessed I have a "thing" for .357 in stainless, you're right.

 

[mtnbkr]

A 3" fixed sight GP100 in 44special.
