Gee, I wish they made a......

To start, how about a semi auto rifle with a traditional stock and not a pistol grip?
Seems like that shouldnt be hard
Something like the PC9/40 seem like its wanted by quite a few. Even a bolt version would be cool.
But jiminy crickets, can we get a new semiauto that isn't an AR?
I'm with you there. I love classic rifles like that. Mini14 and kel tec su16 are nice choices. But it would be nice if there were other options. Especially in states like mine,where you can't have a pistol grip on a semi with dbm.

CA, NY, MASS all come to mind; maybe others too. CA is one of the biggest gun markets if not the biggest (I've seen conflicting data)
It's a sizable number just at that... then add others not even in those states.

Iron sights on budget rifles! Don't care if it's bolt or AR, seems ridiculous to not have them.
So long we are asking for an affordable double rifle, lets also maybe chamber some of these budget bolt guns in bigger calibers. First dibs on 375 H&H Ruger American with express sights for $400! It's ok with ugly plastic ☺

A single-stack subcompact 9mm CZ. I love CZs, but all of their 9mms are double-stacks, and frame width is a major factor for me when it comes to carrying... 
Oh, and a 9mm carbine with an optional magwell for CZ 75 magazines!

Why in the world would you want that!

I think you meant that the other way around.
But anyways.... that could be said about every suggestion in this thread.
Do you have point that applies to my suggestion that doesn't apply to this thread in general?
No, I meant it the way I said it. I think the profit margin for plastic gun parts is probably higher than it is for complete guns, especially new designs that are almost sure to have a pretty small market. I think some of the other guns mentioned in this thread wouldn't have much of a market either. Things like a Glock 42 in .32 ACP or a bolt action 9mm for example. Others, however, would sell quite well. Anyway, it's all just conjecture. No real way to know for sure. Neither of us are manufacturers, or so I gather, so unless we get our wishes and somebody else makes our "wish I had" guns for us, we'll never know.

Take a look at the Ares SCR... I want at least one of their lowers, and I don't even live in a restrictive state!

I have two, I shoot the snot out of one of them. I've put thousands of rounds through the thing, being careful to replace springs when necessary. No ulcer!

You could always enlarge where necessary and beef up the lockup area. Same thing the Italians did to get a Schofield to take the 45 Colt round, which is longer than a 45 Schofield cartridge.

Now for my wish list.
A good, high quality straight pull bolt action rifle.....that doesn't look like it was made for a science fiction movie. Look no further than the Ross M-10 sporter. Simply put it back into production. While the Ross military rifles were universally (Pretty much rightly so ) condemned, the M-10 sporter was universally praised. Jack O'Conner thought highly of it. The infamous bolt re-assembly problem wasn't there in the sporter. The interrupted thread seven locking lug bolt and action can handle any cartridge. I saw one when I lived in California thirty- five years ago, that had been re-chambered to 7MM Weatherby Magnum, and then proof tested. No problems. The action required no modifications at all. The original 280 Ross is a long cartridge. The guy loaded it with .287 dia. custom bullets and he took several species of big game with it. And straight pull actions and scopes were made for one another!
I'm pretty sure I have fired just about every straight pull rifle there is. Compared to the M-10, they all feel rough and cobby... Sorry, Schmidt-Reuben fans, but your rifles can't even begin to match the Ross for smoothness. With a bolt to the rear and a cartridge in the magazine, pointing the muzzle downward will result in the bolt, of its own weight, smoothly stripping the round out of the mag and chambering it. This is the Sporter, NOT the M-10 military rifle that failed so miserably. The two actions are very similar except for the magazine design. The sporter is conventional double column mag with a floorplate. The military mag is a cantankerous contraption.
The Ross isn't particularly complicated or hard to make. It could probably be done for under $1200. There would be no R&D. The blueprints already exist. The rifle itself has the classically beautiful lines if the sporting rifles of the golden era.... Somebody PLEASE put it back into production.!!

Another vote for a wood-stocked, detachable magazined, bolt-action, 9mm carbine with iron sights. Even if it just held 5 rounds I'd be perfectly happy. I'd also like a break-open single-shot carbine in 9mm, .40, or .45.
22 cal C96 Broomhandle replica. No good reason. I think they'd sell very well.

And, the simple blowback action required on a .22 would be far cheaper and easier to manufacture. All if the finely machined, intricate hand fitted parts would be eliminated. Give it a detachable mag, but make it look exactly (as close as possible) to the original. And also make one that looks like Han Solo's blaster. They would sell like 10 cent beers at a ballgame.
+1 my thoughts exactly.

As you said earlier, the mfgrs obviously disagree.
I asked one question "Do you have point that applies to my suggestion that doesn't apply to this thread in general?"
You sure typed lot of words to avoid answering.
I answered your question. Some of the suggestions in this thread like a "traditional" styled semi auto, a 32 ACP Glock or a bolt action 9mm I don't think are likely to happen because of lack of interest. Other suggestions, like larger straight wall catridge bolt actions or a Glock 19ish single stack pistol I think are far more likely. So no, my statement did not apply to all the suggestions in this thread. Even people in the commie states generally want semi autos that get as close to the unmolested version as possible. That's why you have guns like the Ares SCR. It gets around the pistol grip prohibition nonsense without looking quite as goofy as the Thordsen, while at the same time getting as close as possible to a regular AR.
I know this is a "wish the manufacturers made this" thread, but this is pretty easy to do yourself if you want. Just chop a 17 down to take 19 mags.
