An AK made in 6.8mm caliber (really anything, SPC, 7.62x39mm necked down, whatever) with a new sight block and a heavy barrel.
Guns you'd like to see made....

I agree. Something light and small like an M1 carbine, with traditional looks, reasonable accuracy, and that used common ammo and mags would be great.
oh, and that new improved camp carbine? how about a 7.62x25 version too?

1: A reproduction MG42 that fires belt fed .22lr! It would probably have to use a cloth belt but disentegrating links would be great!
2: A select-fire carbine chambered in 357mag and capable of working reliably with .38spl.
And my ultimate goal: A large semi-automatic rifle firing 30mm DU ammo from the A-10 warthog. It would probably need some type of hydraulic or pneumatic piston system to absorb the recoil but that would be one hell of a powerful rifle.
On a side note would the 30mm depleted uranium AP ammo be legal for civilian use? As long as its not a handgun round AP is legal correct? or would the depleted uranium make them illegal somehow?

HoosierQ:
While it doesn't come in all of those calibers, Remington makes a double rifle in .30-06 and 28ksi .45-70. ~900 It's the SPR-22.

The original MG42 uses nondisintegrating links. Don't know how that would affect your repro design.
That would be pretty impressive. Doesn't .357 mag have like, twice the KE of the .38 spl? It would take some doing.
AMRs firing the 20mm hispano round (which is substantially less powerful than the 20mm vulcan round IIRC) already have hydraulic recoil absorbers and enormous muzzle brakes, except for the Croatian one that vents the exhaust gas backwards in a sort of "semi-recoiless" arrangement. With 30x173 I think there's significant question over whether you could make it man portable or not. I think the mechem 20mm AMRs break down into two pieces for transport, so the answer is probably "no."
It would have to be registered as a destructive device due to ridiculous bore size.

Ignore the vulcan and hispano when thinking about something of that magnitude. Get an idea from the Lahti and the Solothurn. Those fired 20x138's which have a lot more punch than the Vulcans.
Now, not that the difference between those are important with the 20x138s running at 40k ft-lbs and the 30x178 running at 180k ft lbs (muzzle energy).

+1 for a modernized CZ in 7.62x25. I wonder if the grip would be too huge if it were a double stack.

A pump action or semi auto who's barrel and magazine meet in a plate which is easily removed with 3 push pins.
I dont have a car, just a motorcycle so shotguns are a little troublesome.

Tippman to reproduce the 1919 scale model .22
A GOOD heavy .308 that can feed from 50 round drums as an ersatz squad weapon for SHTF (think heavy barreled FAL with RPK drum)

Advanced Particle Beam Weapon
Of course. With self contained and very light power source, something with enough juice to, say, pulse a one-inch diameter hole through an engine block at 2 kilometers and still have another 200 shots left.
Just think:
No recoil
No muzzle flash
No sound
No bullet drop or windage
Oh, man, I could go on and on.... I suppose somebody like the DoD or Nuclear Regulatory Commission would complain...

hmm... I want them to make this...
A 20x102mm Semi-automatic Bullpup rifle with internal recoil dampening shocks and muzzle break that fires HE and FMJ rounds. Stock curves over shoulder to allow bolt to move back along with barrel.
Make a small detachable 7.62x25mm minigun to attach to the bottom, and you got a Battle Rifle for the 21st Century, using 20th century ammunition.

A bit more realistic.....
Okay, so the Advanced Particle Beam Weapon isn't coming soon. :banghead:
How about, in the nearer future:
Light semiauto carbine for 7.62 x 25, along with modern semiauto handgun for it. Think along the lines of a big 10/22 or Marlin Camp carbine. And oh, while we're on Marlin Camps, re-introduction, only let's make it heavier duty this time and put proper recoil buffers and springs in there, or make it locking instead of blowback. Add .40, 10mm, and a handful of other fun calibers.
One guy wrote: modernized Lemat, I'm thinking 10 rounds of .45 LC revolving around a 12 gauge smooth-bore barrel. A hefty chunk of pig iron, but that doesn't bother me. I'd settle for 10 rounds of .357 rotating on a 20 gauge. Call me a wimp if you dare. I'd buy a .327mag rotating on a 410 for my wife.
Cheaper carbines in 7.62 x 39 and 9 x 39. Mini-mauser format, but a couple hundred bucks cheaper than the CZ. I know Russia or China could do it.
M1 Carbine lookalike in a caliber with just a little more oomph. 6.8mm maybe.
More bullpup designs for those of us who are tempted to hunt while still in our trucks Add lower priced night vision optics for same.
Aftermarket T/C barrels that don't cost the same price as many pistols.
A functional equivalent to the NEF Handi-Rifle that's a little less ugly. OMG!
That's just a starter list. You guys have great ideas.

You mean like Remington commercializing our own Deer Hunter's 1740?camoman33935 said:3) A double barrel pump action 12ga.

This looks like an awful lot of fun. Maybe a little gimmicky, but it's pretty neat (foldable Glock flashlight/MG):

I would love to see (and would pay money for) a good quality reproduction of J. Reid's "My Friend" knuckleduster in .22 caliber. It's one of the all-time classics and exceptionally scarce (and pricy). A reproduction would be a wonderful gift to the firearms community.

Yeah, either that or a Mossy would be good.
And if deer hunter gets a patent on his gun he could make a lot of green by sellin it to a gun company
I'd love to see Kel-Tec make a 40 S&W equivalent to their 9mm PF-9. It should weigh under a pound with a fully loaded single-stack magazine. I think that this would make a great CCW weapon. I have a KT P3AT which I carry loaded with Buffalo Bore Gold Dots which is about the max performance that you can get from a tiny (8 ounce) 380 but a super light 40 cal would be pretty nifty!

I'd love to have an M1 carbine in a modern caliber. I know some might think the mini-14 is close but there are significant differences that are obvious when you actually hold them in your hands.
Modernizing a M1 carbine would be like having a 'grandpappy approved' scary black rifle.
