I think they already do have one like that out there.A semi-automatic version of the WWII German MP-40.

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.

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?

Iron sights on budget rifles! Don't care if it's bolt or AR, seems ridiculous to not have them.
Make that iron sights that work past 75 yards. My Rossi had terrible sights from the factory. I want to hit pop cans not torso targets at 100.
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!No expectations of it being inexpensive at all, but I love the lines the Broomhandle has and being able to shoot one without getting an ulcer would be great.
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.Too much pressure for the design and getting long .45 Colt cases to extract and eject properly would be a challenge.
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.22 cal C96 Broomhandle replica. No good reason. I think they'd sell very well.
Use a Nagant action?Umm.. no thank you. No desire to put any part of my body up close to the cylinder gap, especially not with full tilt Ruger level loads. Maybe watch someone else wearing mediaeval armor shooting it?
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.
I asked one question "Do you have point that applies to my suggestion that doesn't apply to this thread in general?"
A Glock 19 frame with a 17 slide.
