Guns you wish they'd make?

[Nightcrawler]

What guns do you wish some company would make? Is there something you want a specific company to make, or do you have a design in mind that you'd just like to see put into production? Is there a gun that's no longer produced that you'd like to see made new again, with modern materials and construction (if it's an old design)?

For me, I have a few.

-Idealized Pump Shotgun. This design would combine the best features of the Big Three (Remington, Winchester, Mossberg) into what I feel would be a near-ideal pump shotgun. It'd have a steel tang safety, like a Mossberg 590A1, a steel receiver, like a Remington 870, and the super fast, super smooth rotary bolt of the Winchester 1300. Combine that with a 20" barrel, 8-round magazine tube, ghost ring sights, parkerized finish, heat shield, and I'd be in hog heaven.

-Thumper Carbine: This one wouldn't be legal for me to own, but I still want one. It'd be a lightweight, gas-operated, semiautomatic carbine, with a 10" barrel and folding stock. It'd fire .50AE and .45 Win Mag from a 20 round detachable box magazine, and would have an adjustable aperature sight.

-Civilian Legal Thumper Carbine: Similar to the Ruger PC9, but in .45 Win Mag and .50AE.

-Ruger PC carbine in .45ACP and 10mm.

-Semiautomatic sporting rifle that had the good looks of the Browning BAR Mk. II, but was as reliable, easy to clean, and easy to take apart as a military design. Would have 5 and 10 round detachable box magazines (five for hunting, ten for the range), and would be in .308, .243, .30-06, .270, .300 Win Mag, .338 Win Mag, and .45-70.



I'll probably think of more later.

I have weird tastes in guns, so I'd be happy if someone would make a break-open .454 revolver with the greatly disliked Raging Bull style barrel(even tho it'd probably have a weird look around the hinge so it could open) without the porting. I'd settle for a .44 mag version since I've been told the break open design isn't all that strong.

 

[faustulus]

A beretta with a frame mounted safety.

 

[MicroBalrog]

A 15-round mag for the .50 AE Desert Eagle.

 

[Rembrandt]

...an exact replica of the Desert Eagle, only down sized in .22LR....with a double stack magazine.... complete with easy removeable barrels just like the big boy.

 

[winwun]

A .22 auto long gun, preferably in carbine length that would accept as a clip the standard styrene box of 100 cartridges.

 

[critter]

Nightcrawler, I'd like to see them make your pump shotgun with a full length mag tube BUT 'shrink fit' it to a short, fat pistol round like .44 mag or .45 Colt. Talk about 'urban assault rifle'!!!!! All around fun gun!

 

[swingcatt]

Ruger MK II style target pistol in .22 Mag and .17 HMR.

[MrAcheson]

Second critters suggestion. A pistol caliber pump rifle of modern design would be really nice. .357 or .44 mag with 16" to 20" barrel. I believe the IMI timberwolf is similar but out of production.

 

[haukehaien]

Winchester to start making the Model 06 pump .22 again. With a .17/22 barrel option, and a .22 Magnum/.17 HMR upper as an option as well.

A 7.62 x 25 MAK 90.

 

[Deadman]

-Pump action 5.56mm rifle that utilises detachable box magazines.
-Pump action .357magnum rifle, tube or box fed.

(In case you can't tell, I can't own semi-auto firearms...)

 

[erikm]

Well, It probably wouldn't be legal, but how about the following?

A weapon with a two barrel over-and-under layout, with the upper barrel (and action) being a 12 guage semiauto shotgun (bullpup action; magazine fed; no chokes) and the lower barrel (and action) being a magazine fed semiauto rifle in either a pistol caliber or 5.56mm. Call it an Urban Defence Weapon

Cheers,
ErikM

 

[Bonker]

A ladies version of the SP-101


A 4 barreled 12ga shotgun with 18" barrels mounted in a bullpup stock. It would have a rotating firing pin and would be a break top design. Total length is 26".

This would be the ultimate home defense gun for me. 4 potent shots, super reliable, simple to use even in the dark, small but shoulder fired.

 

[Bigdog]

My two wants . . .

1) A modern M1 Carbine in stainless, chambered for .45 WinMag, for a decent price.

2) A heavy-barreled Martini action .22LR for a decent price, with Ruger-style machined-in scope bases.

 

[Meowhead]

Those Ruger pistol caliber carbines are just begging for larger calibres. Say 10mm, .45ACP, .44 Magnum even.

Break-open .44 Mag revolver with same grip shape as the S&W Schofeld Russian.

Replica of Mauser C96, stainless steel, in 7.62 and 9mm.

Modular pump-action carbine in .44 Mag or something like that. Interchangeable barrels, stocks, magazine, sights and the like. Gun could be configured into a long-barreled rifle for hunting or plinking, or a short-barrelled pistol-gripped thing the ATF would absolutely hate. Perfect for a trip to the range, or home defense.

When I was a kid I recall seeing something like this. It was a 20 ga O/U with a .22 LR underneath. The 20 ga was break open though, I think. Don't remember the make or model, but it was slick.

What I'd like.

Kel-Tec Sub9/Sub 2000 folding carbine chambered in 7.62x25 Tokarev compatible with some cheap surplus hicap, like PPsH mags.

An affordable (sub $600) .357 mag that fires from the bottom of the cylinder, like a Mateba, but normal SA/DA not a semi-auto. Blocky modern styling like a steel match racegun etc. Break action for easy loading. Integral scope/accessory rail in the topweight full length lug.

Legal Saiga 12K with folding stock, pistol grip, and 10 round mags.

A bullpup semi-auto pistol. Kind of like a short version of the Bushmaster armpistol but in a pistol caliber. Forward pistol grip almost (but not quite) flush with the muzzle, and a magazine still at the rear where the grip frame/magwell traditionally is that acts as a wrist brace. Wierd, I know, but I think it would be neat. (but impossible to holster probably.)

Mostly though, domestic production, or licensed production in the US of HK's; FN's; AUG's etc. to get around the import bans, but take advantage of the AWB sunset that we'll hopefully win.

 

[Hot brass]

Ruger to make the SBH in 454, and 480.

For me only, a liquid metal gun, that would change physical shape as I wanted, and any cal

 

[Mastrogiacomo]

Guns I wish were out there? Glock 19M and Glock 26M that shoots 8 or 9 with one in the chamber to satisfy my permit requirments and allow me to get a Glock 9mm. Also would love this for a medium and full size Sig in a 9mm. Love to see a full size 92FS type M with 9 and one in the chamber so I could get the gun I've always wanted -- but can't buy.:banghead:

 

[Sean Smith]

Since I'm dreaming...

I wish Colt would re-introduce the Delta Elite, with a few cheap design changes. Flat-bottom firing pin stop to delay unlocking. Steel guide rod (GI-style short, or long, I'm not fanatical either way) with a single 20 pound recoil spring and a buff. Make it a pre-Enhanced Series 80, since those looked nicest IMHO, with the relief cut on the frame that cured the stress crack problem, of course. You'd have a 10mm 1911 that would shoot nicer and last longer than the original... or just about any other sort of 10mm out there. Really, the gun that Colt should have introduced back in 1987.

Re-introduce the Bren X, only with extractors that don't break like pretzels and plenty of magazines for everybody!

 

[ms1200]

I would like to see ruger make a double rifle and offer it in
.375h&h, .416 rem mag. and .458lott

 

[Snowdog]

Ruger PC carbine in .45ACP and 10mm

Yes please!

I'd also love to have H&K's .45acp carbine, but if they'd only drop the price a tad.

I'd like to see Marlin beef up their model 60 slightly to accommodate the .380acp to construct the ultimate, tube-fed short-range plinker. I'd imagine the capacity would be comparable the existing .22LR models.

 

[hksw]

10 mm USP
10 mm P220

 

[MJRW]

A cross between a Glock and an XD. Give me a grip safety, a low bore axis, and that glock 19 size and ill be a happy camper.

 

[cordex]

Reliable, full-auto, hopper fed, .22 LR minigun with integral sound moderators.
Buy ammo in bulk, pour a couple boxes into the hopper and let 'er rip.
