I've been knocking around a few crazy ideas for a couple years, the guns that I always thought "well that would be slick" but no one seems to make them.
The general rule of thumb that I've found is that most firearms with a box magazine (semi auto pistols, AR, FAL, AK, etc) are chambered in a rimless cartridge like 9mm or 7.62. On the flip side, most lever action rifles that I'm aware of are chambered in loads like 30-30 or if it's pistol caliber, something like .38/.357 or .44.
How come we seldom see a reversal of that? I'm not saying it would be the greatest thing since removable choke tubes, but I think it would be kind of cool to be able to load up an AR or GLOCK with .44 magnum. Conversely, a lever action rifle in 9mm, 45ACP, or, and I know this sounds crazy... 10mm
I'm probably the only one out there that likes this idea, but I just think it would be nifty to be able to have a lever action rifle in the same caliber as my GLOCK or 1911, or a larger bore revolver and a Sport Utility Rifle in the same caliber.
I'm assuming the most common answers are going to be some creation of: there's no demand for them, there's no money in it, or it seams kind of redundant...
