Another vote. A two barrel set for me though.

What cartridges would you like in an American made Kipplauf?

I would like to stick to rimmed cartridges in a break action Kipplauf. I think a .30-40 would be ideal for whitetail and could still be used for mule deer. Hand loaded to modern standards it would fall between a .308 Winchester and the .30-06 in power.

I could be content with the European standby 9.3x74R for a medium bore but would prefer either a .405 Winchester or a 400/350 Nitro 2 3/4" to handle anything bear or bigger here in the U.S..

That Luxus Arms Model 11 came pretty close to an American made Kipplauf but it came and went pretty quickly. (and I think it still had an external hammer)
