Handy straight-stocked carbine with 16.5" or 18" barrel in 10mm. Make it stainless with a composite stock and I'd forego eating for a month to get one.
If Henry made the original style Ruger 44 carbine, I'd be down with that!
Love 44 Mag but not even remotely interested in lever guns.
-I wouldn't mind some super magnum lever actions like .357 Maximum or .454 Casull. I know, I know, no way a .357 Max will ever get made because no ammo, but .454 has a chance. I mean, if Rossi's making one, why aren't others?
Had me a Ruger .44 auto carbine and sold it to my BIL. Regretted it from the day I did it. Have levers in .357, .44 and .32 Special. I also have a Ruger 77/44. What a nice gun. With a Nikon 2X7 on it, it keeps most everything within 2.5" @ 100 yards. My 13 year old granddaughter used it this year for her first deer. While it's not as cool as the old .44 auto, it sure as heck shoots better and is more reliable. It too uses a rotary mag that makes loading and unloading much easier than with a lever.
As for pump guns. Outside of Turkey guns, they seem to have lost their attraction for most hunters. My youngest wanted a pump .22 a few years back and it took a while to even find a new production one. It ended up being a Remington in a deluxe grade. The old 1884 Lightnings were cool, but were not strong enough for modern calibers. Even the Uberti replicas have limited calibers available. I just wonder if there is enough demand for pump actions that would warrant production. I would like to see them make a repo of the 1887 lever action shotgun in 12 ga.
Maybe 38super too!Mmm. A .38 Spl top break along the lines of the old S&W pocket top breaks. Preferably DA/SA. Also, a good quality SxS shotgun.
Aye. I would love a DA/SA top break the size of a S&W J frame (that conveniently accepted J frame grips) in .38 Spl, 9x19mm, etc; by Henry. I'd love a good quality SxS with single or double triggers and internal hammers even better.Maybe 38super too!
Blued steel receiver lever action in 22lr and .22tcm
Yeah, if it can cycle and feed the shorter cartridges.And wouldn't the Casull handle other .45 related rounds as well?
Yet has there ever been any reports of failures with the Aluminum alloy receivers?I agree.
The pot metal hot wheels car junk receivers Henry uses on their rimfire rifles does not inspire confidence in the brand.

Not a failure of the receiver. That's a shoddy coatingI’ve seen the paint flaking off ones around the receiver to bolt fitment this showing the greyish white Zamak underneath. That was enough to turn me off. But if ones ok with that then by all means, they do tend to be decent shooters.
