Whether it be for 922(r) compliance, caliber conversion, or what have you - which ones do you wish existed?
I'd go for a 7.62x54 AR

Yeah, I would imagine a similar platform to the AR-10 or the other .308 variants.

You're supposed to wish for something that doesn't exist.

Does a 22lr conversion for a Mosin-Nagant exist? It wouldn't make it any cheaper to shoot, but sometimes I could do without the should tenderization.
I would also like an AK in 6 or 6.5x39mm (I'm not sure that 6.5 Grendel could be made to work in an AK very easily).

I once saw a .22LR Mosin Nagant trainer at a gun show. It was very tempting but I couldn’t justify spending $400 the guy wanted for it.
Seems like Shotgun News had a column titled “Baby at the Gates” on how to convert a Mosin Nagant to .22LR. Seems like it involved using a barrel liner

I thought Tromix had a 6.8 or a 6.5 AK?
Almost positive he had a 458 built.
Heck, I can't afford everything I want that is available, let alone wishing up something new!

I don't think of a ferret type upper as a true "conversion kit." My idea of a "true" .50 BMG AR would be an AR that feeds a .50 BMG datachable magazine through the magwell and has a standards size 20" barrel.
Why not?
The 6.5 Grendel and 7.62x39 use the same size bolt face, and the cases have the same (or very, very close) length. A new magazine, or maybe just a new follower, and a re-barrel and you could be in business. The only problem could be the OAL of loaded ammo. Although, this would be like putting a silk hat on a pig.

My main concern about the conversion would be whether the dramatically reduced body taper of the Grendel would make it hard to get it to feed.
I might go ahead and get a 6.5 barrel blank to turn down for the AK parts kit I'm putting together, just to try it out.

I'd like to see someone make a carbine that takes 1911 mags, inexpensively. Keltec SUB-2000, Hi-point, something like that.

Autoloading .45-70
A Sig in 10mm
Kel-Tec Sub2000 in .357 Sig
SKS in 5.45x39
Nothing too fancy, I guess...

I second that. I am a big 10mm fan (I reload for it) and I am a big Sig fan.

How much does a Marlin model 45 Camp Carbine go for these days?

Amazing... while checking the Mech-Tech site, I noticed that they have conversion units for Glock and 1911 10mms... so my idea for a 10mm Carbine is already taken.
I'd love to have Kel-Tec make a Sub-2000 carbine that accepted Thompson stick mags. Or a brand-new issue M1 Carbine with a para stock taking Thompson stick mags.
An M1 Carbine in 10mm (again with the para stock) would be nice, too.
AR-15 upper (affordable) that used a BREN-gun feed. Seems that a BREN setup would allow the AR-15 to take any caliber with any kind of cockeyed magazine in the world. Your 5.56 AR can't be converted to a magazine-fed .308? A BREN configuration wouldn't have that problem. Your magazine well would be part and parcel of the upper assembly.
