What old guns do you want to see made again?

[mkwerx]

There are certain guns, old school guns, I wish someone would make new runs of.

The M1 - John Garand's classic. .30-06, with a nice hard wood stock. Or even a nicely done laminate stock to keep prices down.

The Browning Hi Power - FN stopped producing it. Dumb move, IMO. A nice Mk III, highly polished, deeply blued. Rubber stocks. Good sights with front and rear dovetails.

The Winchester Model 94 in both .357 mag and .30-30 calibers.

What older, no longer produced guns would you like to see made again?

Nobody has posted Colt Python .357 with 6" barrel, in 36 minutes? Must be Friday.

I will second the Garand, and add '03 Springfield (Pre A3).

Technically still being done in 30-30 for the mod 94 and .357 in the mod 73 by Miroku.

A accurate copy in looks of :
A J. Henry Trade Rifle both the "American" and "English" pattern....
A Henry Leman Trade rifle...

Many muzzleloading rifles have called themselves a "Trade Rifle" or a "Hawken" , even a "Kentucky" but they really don't come close to copying the look of the rifle that they stole / claimed the name of....

One could still make a Trade Rifle , even with some production short cuts ...'cause that's how they did it "back in the day...way before CNC machines and such....It was called a Trade Rifle , because it was made for the Fur Trade on a mass scale...Not on a one , by one basis , in a one or three man shop as in the case of many of classic "Kentucky Longrifles"....

More wooden stocked rifles and shotguns....I for one get tired of seeing all plastic stocked firearms being offered for sale.
Nothing wrong with a synthetic stocked gun...I understand their appeal , uses and I even own a couple myself...just miss the days of blued steel and wood stocks....

Go to a LGS and handle a miroku Winchester mod 73 I do - often - and am fighting the desire - but I can't get past the 'made by the J. A. Pan Co.' part......

I have seen those and they look good...just way more plastic stocked guns than wood stocked guns nowadays...

I'd want a new production line of The Medusa. Can't find those for less than 1k anymore.

Remington 700 BDL....wood stocked ala 1960-70s
Rem 1100

 

[H2O MAN]

The M14, but with lighter components and a modern chassis stock system.

 

[Greenbug]

1960's vintage Sako bolt action rifles. Vixen, Forester, Finbear, etc...

Quality started going downhill rapidly about the time Gaston Glock started pumping out the plastic fantastic.
