The classic gun you wish they'd bring back?

[CountryGent]

Sort of a tangent from this thread, what classic firearm that was once build, but now is discontinued would you like to see come back? And why?

(Off the top of my head, I really wish an outfit would make the Mauser C∕96 again.)

I know Uberti makes a Lightning repo. How good they are, I cannot say.

With Ruger's acquisition of Marlin...you may very well get your wish. I'd buy one too.

Browning Hi-Power

A licensed copy, and derivatives, are still made by Fabricaciones Militares in Argentina. I see them from time to time here. But, alas, no more from Browning.

Phillips & Rodgers M47 Medusa was interesting in all the cartridges it would run with, but failing that, it is just so darn weird, I wish something like it would come back.

I could add my own experience with a modern version of the Lightning. Since I'm headed for the bunk house now (long day) and it takes certain effort to complete the details, let me know if it's worth the effort to respond to the question.
For now, G'night.

Speaking Lightnings, I'd really dig a double-action Lightning:



I'm aware of at least one repo, but it is single-action only.

Not really a classic gun per se....but more of what I would call a classic look
I would love to see more rifles and shotguns with solid wood stocks ( not laminate ) , a blued finish and a return of iron sights for rifles.
Oh yeah , get rid of the abominable safety device such as "crossbolts" and tang slders on lever action rifles , like those seen on newer model 94's and 336's.

As far as guns brought back :
Pre-transfer safety bar Ruger Blackhawk revolvers
The Ruger Security Six and Speed Six series
A S&W revolver without the key lock safety , also have it pinned and recessed
