The Franklin Armory Reformation seems like an interesting idea, but nothing ever came of it. In a rifle caliber, it's completely absurd, but it feels like it could work pretty well in a pistol caliber. And instead of ridiculous "Nerf football" bullets, I bet you you could get away with a nose heavy Foster-slug style bullet. Or, maybe it could work with regular bullets and a muzzle device resembling a rifled choke. Oh well.

This year, Franklin Armory has a "non-semiautomatic", which doesn't seem terribly interesting unless you are in a ban state.

A 9mm Ruger Charger could be cool, especially if it came with a brace or it was easy to install one like on the 10/22 Charger.

Hi-Point is coming out with a regular pistol instead of their traditional cheapy zinc blowback sort of thing. That's boring. I want a 10mm Hi Point "pistol" based on the carbine. It would look totally ridiculous, but I would buy one.

A few things:

1. A little competition in the .22 DA revolver department. For $400 or less there are loads of .22 semis: SR22, P22, mosquito, mark pistols, buck mark, issc...the list goes on. For a plinker I only know of the Charter Pathfinder.

2. A reasonably cheap way to build a 9mm carbine that accepts glock magazines. The PCC did a nice job of this but I’d like a way build something in the same way as an AR.

3. A double actin black powder revolver.

1. Ruger, S&W, and Charter are about all you're gonna get for .22 DA revolvers. Maybe Heritage can break out of its shell a bit and start making some, but I doubt it. After Taurus bought them, they dropped a lot of the centerfire manufacturing. There's rumors Armscor will make a .22 LR revolver, if they do it can't cost more than $250 and it has to have 8 shot capacity.

2. Already done, Ruger and Kel Tec.

3. They have these in the UK already, but there's not much demand for a $500 DA/SA cap and ball revolver outside of Europe.

I have to join all of you hoping for Midland to come out with their rifle barrels. As soon as they come out with a .357, .223, .300 Blk, or .308 I'm going to get one of each and get them threaded. An affordable single shot rifle like that should make a great platform for quiet plinking.

I'll skip the .22 LR barrel, but I'd get a .22 Mag as I don't have any rifles in .22 Mag, plus I can get away with shooting LR in it.

I'd buy a barrel for the .223, 7.62x39, .357, and .45 Colt. I would push the Midland to the limits with the .45 Colt and she how much it can take. I see no reason it can't do something like 1200 fps with a 300 grain XTP. Don't need a single shot .308 really, already have that in a Handi Rifle, just need to figure out why it's getting light strikes. Probably busted firing pin.

Wouldn't mind seeing a barrel for .40 S&W cuz I'd have it reamed to accept 10mm Magnum and use a partial moon clip for .40 and 10mm Auto.

yes if they come out and are sub 200 they will sell good, i would not mind a 357.

I don't think the price for the barrels is going to be $200, that's Thompson Center territory and I highly doubt the Midland barrels will shoot as well as T/C barrels. The price for the shotguns is $140 and that includes the frame and stock. Nah, prices will be around $100-125 max and I wouldn't doubt it if Midland offers an option to have the barrels threaded.

i think you are right but i ment the hole gun, i read they are testing what the action will take, looks pretty strong and is forged. i was thinking off getting one in 12ga to practice making a chamber adapter, i have a 30 cal barrel that i cant find a use for. maybe a 30-30 or similar would be fun. i hope they offer some sights tho id put some on if not.
 
This ain't news but Ruger just completely dominates the .22lr scene. For revolvers their sp101 and lcrx are both really really nice and there's a good difference in their prices.

I hope they have a .22 Hornet barrel!
 
Looks like Winchester is releasing their 10/22-alike. The difference is that their bolt buffer is an AK-style takedown button in the barrel cleaning port at the back of the receiver. Neat!

Speaking of 10/22's, I like Ruger. Out of all the domestic manufacturers, they have the most diverse lineup. That is, except for one thing: shotguns.

Just let the stackbarrel go. Please. A pump is unfeasible due to cheap imports, Mossberg, and 11+ million used Remington 870's.

Where there is room is semiautomatics.

It just has to be reasonably affordable, better than a Mossberg 930, and lack the o-ring silliness of the 1100. Those aren't terribly low bars. Honestly, it looks like Ruger hasn't been feeling terribly creative for the past few years, which is fine since most patents in the field are expired (including Benelli). Design it such that nothing extends in the stock so it will function with a bird's-head pistol grip, and they'd have a Tac-13 killer right there.

Speaking of Mossberg, what are they doing in response in response to the Tac-13? Recycling chainsaw forends for the Shockwave. Dang.

I had not seen the Winchester Wildcat till you mentioned this.

Taking a page from Ruger it uses Ruger 10/22 magazines. It's an interesting looking rifle. If the price is right I'll be picking up one.
 
I've been looking for a detailed list of upcoming releases, info is still spotty. I did see a new semiauto 22 from Taurus and KelTec, holding 16 and 33 rnds. That interests me. Id like to see Henry introduce a revolver lineup, both SA and DA.

Interesting.

The reasoning behind the decision was simple. “When you see everything that’s coming out — that’s kind of becoming more standard on guns — nowadays we figure we’d have to up ours and bring it to that same level,” Kiwacka said. New features will include a threaded barrel, accessory rail, cocking serrations, ambidextrous controls, and a 1911-grip safety.

Seems like the Hi-Point is a fixed-barrel design; so am I correct to assume this wouldn't need a Nielsen device?
