I wish they would re-make

I really really wish they would re-make the Remington 66 Nylon 22 rifle again. This gun would shoot each and everytime, with all brands of ammo, was accurate for hunting rabbits and just fun to shoot. I wish I never sold it!

Which gun would you like to see back into production and why?????

Everything Calico LWS did.

High capacity helical drums, and roller delayed blowback.

Seriously cool stuff.

Winchester 88. Make it take M-14 magazines. Then you can either have a sleek hunting rifle, or a cool looking zombie blaster.

Me? The Remington 788. In.221FB,.222,.223,.222Mag, and every caliber based on the .308 case, 250 Sav, 6mm, .257 Bob, and any other short, light tidy and under rated caliber I could think of. WAAAAAAAY better than a 710 or 770. AND with a precise adjustable without a gunsmith goof proof trigger and a 4 round mag. in the majority of calibers. 24 inch barrel standard, period; none of those fps. robbing snub noses like the 7/08, .308, and .243 had on later production guns. With AMERICAN walnut stocks, not stained birch.

They are, but they have not recovered from the AWB very well as far as I can tell. You don't even see them in special order catalogs. I should see about getting one of their 9mm carbines.

Marlin Camp in .45 ACP with hi-cap magazine. I have the standard and like it much. capacity is limited to 10 rd mags which is enough, I have the ProMag drum 40 rd. but haven't tryed it yet - I've heard some say OK, others say No Go.

New S&W revolvers without locks.

Muttering to self..."Uh, stoopid- this was a RIFLE thread." Sorry about that guys. So I'll amend the above to say that I'd like to see somebody...Winchester or whoever...start making the 1894 again- sans pushbuttons/locks.
