We've seen our fair share of tech-9's, hi point carbines, kel tek's and other "affordable" firearms that turned out as junk. Thinking about the nature of these weapons and their past militairy counterparts like the sten and s&w 76, I imagined a modern version being made that would surpass all previously known performance standards at a realistic price point.
I spent some time coming up with a concept that I think the weapon should be like, should someone actually develop it. What I thought up was a simple carbine that would take the best from both worlds. Starting with the old gun's positive attributes; simple, reliable, rugged all steel construction i'd moderize the concept by designing decent accuracy, ergonomics, functional furniture, effective sights, and optics capability all into the weapon. It could even be designed to have a modularity to it making caliber changes possible. Well planned out, i think a rifle design like thins could storm the civillian market.
If there's one thing the gun market is lacking, it's a good pistol caliber carbine that's not expensive like the AR platforms. Imagine a marlin camp rifle that takes sten or grease gun magazines and only costs $250! A rifle like that could be an affordable way to put more guns into american hands, as well as simply be a useful tool everyone could afford to have as a backup home defense weapon, practice rifle, small game rifle, ect.
I'd like to know what everyone thinks. lemme hear it,
