If you could have any firearms resurrected and brought back into full-scale production, what would they be?
My list:
Revolvers
S&W K-frames
S&W J-frames in .44 Special
S&W I-frames in modern cartridges
Semi-auto pistols
Lugers (real ones)
Broomhandle Mausers
Shotguns
Lefever SxS
Browning A-5
Winchester Model 12
Winchester 1897
Bolt-action rifles
Winchester pre-64 Model 70s
Remington 788
Non-bolt action rifles
Savage 99s, internal brass rotary mags, and safeties on the lever. D&T'd, of course.
Winchester 1892
Winchester 1886
Sako Finnwolf
Marlin lever actions (all of them) WITHOUT the ugly-azz press checkering and good, smooth, high-grade walnut stocks

Savage 99s in classic calibers & proper twist rates (250-3000, 358, 300 etc). Add to this the new 338 federal.
Winchester M70s worth a damb. Not the junk they produced the last few years. As a left handed shooter.......I had no chance to enjoy the glory years of the M70
Remington 7600s WITHOUT "J" locks..........in 35 Whelen of course!
Quality walnut stocks...........available on more rifles. Synthetics have great utilitarian appeal. But nice walnut is just a joy to hold & hunt with.

Real guns for real shooters...and loonies too. Saying it goes w/o saying...sometimes it needs repeating LOUDLY....QUALITY GOES A LOT FURTHER THAN BS in firearm production. Hope somebody important heard that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I tend toward older guns for fun and sometimes serious work. Quality modern works are amazing tools and I appreciate that, and I use them, even though they sometimes lack soul. I shall not mention those oldies currently being produced by the likes of C. Sharps, Ballard etc. etc.....they ARE being made. So my shortish list:
The Henry Rifle chambered in the .44 Henry Flat
Win. Mod 88...action slicked, as it never was
Win. Mod 42
Browning patent .22 auto chambered in .22 Short
Some of the Fox or Parker repro's with Damascus barrels...nothing was ever so lovely.
There are others but this will do for now. More than any of this though, I'd prefer to see "Made in USA" rather than other places of non-sequitor lineage...stamped or engraved.
I am..........disturbed.
