What OLD firearm would you like to see in a Modern Caliber?

In the same vein, not really old, but the Ruger Deerfield brought back, with a full wood stock (rather than half wood, half crappy plastic) and offered in .44 Magnum (per the original) and .50 AE (per a daydream).

That would be cool...I like the tube magazine better than a box....but I am weird that way...LOL

A return to a quality built single shot .22 LR rifle...with no stamped metal , pot metal and little to no plastic...

Sort of similar to what was mentioned above, an M1 Carbine (or M1 Carbine-esque) in .50 AE. It was done back in the mid-1990s by a small outfit called Le Mag. They also made them in .45 Winchester Magnum. As far as I know, they are long gone though.

Another USGI .30 Carbine option only this one in 9 mm mag. Just a barrel and bolt change plus some easy mag twicking.

 

[Flatfish]

Falling block single shots.

 

[Boboclown]

A steyr m95 in .308. Or a swiss k31 in .308.

Mauser 98k "clone" ...slightly smaller scale in 7.62x39mm

I think the Remington Model 8 is a really cool rifle...but it's chambered in essentially defunct calibers.

I'd love to see the Model 8 in a modern caliber (300 BLK would make sense but I think .357 would be way cool too)

I took matters into my own hands. This #1 Remington rolling block from 1873 came in .38 long rimfire. It now fires .357 Mag.

Sharps in 30-06 or 308.

Oh I would love one of those...all it takes is money...anyone have a spare $750 laying around for the "Go Fund Andy's Fun Gun Fund"...?...

I actually considered trading my Royland Southgate rifle for one of those CZ 427's either a Carbine or the full stocked model...well that or an old Winchester Model 94 rifle or Carbine in .30-30

If you do, I look forward to the range report. I have to admit to being tempted by the little CZs for a while now.

Can't say I have any. I think part of the nostalgia of an older firearm is the history of it along with it's caliber. I personally would HATE to see a nice old beauty chambered in some modern gee-whiz round.

Norinco made them, but super rare. I've heard they go for around $1500 if they can be found. Here's a picture of the receiver:
