Thought this might be interesting :   What are some THINGS that you wish they would offer, but don't?  I'll start.


A new cartridge :  Modern rimless .30 cal. case, exactly the same powder capacity of the .30-30 Win. or the old .30 Rem., but loaded with pointed bullets.  Chambered in a little bolt action like the Rem. Model Seven, it would be a great alternate choice for the younger / smaller northwoods deer hunter who may not be enthused about the .243, .308, or .30 Russian.

I think we are living in a golden age of weaponry and ammo, but I would like a .223 semi auto pistol, (but not an AR-15 pistol).

well, howabouts more options for a handgun cal. carbine. theirs high end stuff like feather industries at-9 and HK stuff which is 1000 to 4000$ and hi point crap that is ugly and has only small mags. the only one is the camp9, and those are getting scarce. a 9mm and/or 45 acp carbine (possibally bullpup) that accepts uzi, or mp5, or any pre ban hi-cap mags

Amen to that! I want something that'll take sten mags, built like a ruger PC9, with HK type sights, short buttstock, and built in Weaver rail(s), tough as nails, polymer stock, but takes sten mags, they are so cheap and plentiful. Garry Owen, if you're listening...we beg, please make us this gun. [:D]

I want a scope mount that will envelope a compact size scope with lightweight aluminum armor.  Several years ago, they had what they called the "Blitz" mount that did just that.  Never saw any for sale, though.  Second on the list would be quality affordable nightvision scopes made in the USA and backed by a good warranty.  Or perhaps a quality sniper scope with built-in laser rangefinding AND automatic bullet drop compensation that didn't cost upwards of $5000.  I would trade all of this just for the opportunity to put a bayonet lug on my Sporter without risking jail time.

300 Savage?  I've heard it is quite accurate in a bolt action.

I'd like to see a 223 cartridge necked to .277 or .264.  You could probably still zero at 200 yards, and with that upper the AR would make a fine deer rifle.

AR-15-Sniper,


WHAT IS THAT? Gourgeous, I'm drooling, but I don't recognize the rifle, looks like a very trick Rem. 700. Am I close?

Accuracy specs are neat, where can I get one, or does Vang makes them?

Well, I wish that toris, instead of giving out free NRA memberships with each gun purchase, would instead give out free samples of that fine Brazillian poontang they got down there. If they would just do that, I would buy a Raging Bull, aww hell make that a Raging Bull and a Raging Hornet to get in on that deal!

Some good 600 to 800 dollar (PSS type) rifles in 300 WSM.  I think this cartridge will be the ticket sometime in the next five years.  Great potential.  Guess I'm pushing it to ask for left handed versions.

I've always thought some company should make up a clone of the STG-44 assault rifle in .223 cal., and using HK-93 mags (which look something like the original mags). I would be o.k. with the idea that they might make internal improvements to the weapon, but leave the exterior as close to the original as possible. Better wood stocks, of course.

My wish list, one item but it is pretty wide reaching and would cover a lot of other wishes too:
- For *more* firearms and related companies to have BALLS.

This would involve not producing, marketing, and EXPLOITING two seperate classes of weaponry (some go waaaaay over the top but i'm "wishing" for all here).  This is an increasing practice that involves not only items that are verboten for us mere commoners but a range of products that are perfectly legal as well.  It would also involve designing products for the people who actually buy them (gasp!) rather than for those who never would.

I would like to see COLT become more customer friendly and publicly support the RKBA.Why can't they open a website like Bushmaster or Armalite were you can order parts factory direct? $700.00 for a M4-flattop upper on the secondary market is a joke!!!and thats with no bolt carrier.
And no more "large pins","searblocks",and that other PC crap!
 OPEN UP SALES TO CIVILIANS!!!
