The Next New Semi-Auto Rifle

[Gunther]

Ok Industry Insiders, heres your chance to clear your conscience. We have our vaporware Kel-Tec 308, We have our expensive Sig and Ruger AR's, FN SOCOM AR Clone $5000+ Whats next on the Horizon? Colt 308 AR?, Some other super expensive wiz bang rifle nobody but the gun rag pukes will touch! It seems to me there is pent up demand for a $300-500 9mm/45 carbine ala Marlin Camp/Kel-Tec 2000. What do you all know, or think? Or are we at a crossroads with no R&D money wanting to take a chance on the "Dear Leader" destroying the market with a new AWB?

Next thing will be a 5.56 NATO/7.62 NATO AR gas-piston (I hope).

ACR like rifles, only in a bullpup configuration.

I'd like to see more Kel-Tec Sub200s being made or something similiar in pre 2008 price and performance.

Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range...

In all seriousness, most likely a SCAR/ACR type but a bullpup. Gas piston, probably in a newer caliber (6.8 SPC most likely if anything.)
