What new firearm would you like to see made?

OK, this is going to sound tulula but... I would like a semi-automatic rifle chambered for say... 30 Carbine with a rotary magazine such as in the Marlin 10/22.
Uh...rotary mags are the weak point in nearly every Ruger that uses them. Box mags are always an improvement- I in fact have an early Ruger Ranch in .300 that won't work if I manipulate the bolt fast. The later, box mag versions rarely suffer from this problem.

the rotary mags in the savage 99 seemed to work OK

Yeah, but the Savage 99 is magic- and, dare I say, probably received a lot more hand fitting than any post WWII Ruger has! Remember, for a long time, Ruger was mostly known for making ugly cast guns.

their "cast" revolvers were and are the strongest production pieces not like the fragile Colts and S&W
 
Glocks aren't pretty, either, but they're famous for working.
Actually, I kinda like how Glocks look. And there's only been a couple of Rugers (Super Redhawks for one) that I never really cared for the looks of.
"Pretty" is in the eye of the beholder, of course. Besides, when it comes to guns, I'll take function over form every time. :thumbup:
 
An affordable Rolling Block in a size suitable for 41 Magnum ... maybe even one in 30-30 !
It would be perfect for 25-20 , 32-20 , 44-40 , 45 Colt and of course 357 , 41 and 44 magnum .
357 Maximum might also be cool !
I think Rolling Blocks make into nifty little sporting rifles .

i'm sure it's not possible, but a double-action revolver with swing out cylinder that looks EXACTLY like the single actions; colt, ruger vaquero, etc.....
It was only a .22 rimfire, but I'm certain that once upon a time High Standard built a double action revolver with a swing out cylinder that looked like a single action Colt or Ruger. It was called the "Double Nine."
So, it must be "possible" for the gun companies to build revolvers like that. "Practical" though? I suspect it's about as practical as my wish (earlier in this thread) that Smith would start building stainless 38/44 "Outdoorsman" revolvers. ;)
 
Actually...If Ruger would make lever action rifles in 454 casull and 480 Ruger that would be amazing!!

I would have to rearrange my safe again to make more room!!


Make it in .460, capable of feeding / firing .454 and .45 C.

.45 S, L, LR.

Capable of anything on continent


Lever action in .38-55
.41 mag
.327 FM
.25-20
Would be awesome, too.

10-22 or Mini-30 in .30 Carbine

Blackhawk .327FM
.25-20

I'd like a US made all metal pistol that is a natural pointer, 18 degree grip angle, slimmer than the HiPower but as accurate with a barrel longer than 4.5 inches and in 9mm Luger caliber and that comes standard as a 15 + 1 round pistol and will feed any brand or type of 9mm Luger bullet reliably and that is available in both DAO and DA/SA in the very same gun with ambidextrous safety and swap-able button type mag release. It should also have a manual safety/decocker, allow racking the slide even when it is in safe mode and the magazines should drop free. The DAO trigger pull should be less than 7 pounds while the DA/SA trigger pull should be around 5 pounds in DA and 3 pounds in SA mode. It need to be good looking and snag free and be able to fit in any common 1911 holster.

















Oh wait. I already have that one.

Browning BDM? Some sort of CZ with interchangeable trigger guts?
