50 GUNS they should bring back!

[x101airborne]

There is a real interesting thread on the wheelguns section that really is making me think of all the great guns that have gone by the wayside in favor of cheaper, utility weapons that can be pushed on the general consumer for higher profit. So, Not just handguns, but ANY firearms, what would you like to see again? I will start.

Remington "Nylon" 77 and 66 models.
Winchester 21 double shotgun.
Remington 40X target rifles
Pre 64 magnum action (H&H length) winchesters

If you would like to include a story of why you would like to see these again or share a memory, I would like to hear about it!

[DHurtig]

Remington 788"s, Dale

[Plinkster]

Ruger 96/44
Puma 92 in Ruger 480
Raging Bull in Ruger 480 to go with the Puma

Remington 788"s, Dale

Ha! Now there is a classic! My dad has several, but he loves his 7-08 carbine. He also has a 6mm in left hand bolt, but right eject! Now go figure on that one!

[MBTcustom]

Winchester 1897 pump shotguns. I grew up on one, and I loved it.
1. Colt woodsman pistols
2. Remington model 8 (spoken of in hushed and reverent terms) My dad has one with a 30 round clip.
3. Don't hate me for throwing the Remington Nylon 66 in there too, they were cheap, but amazing.
4. The pre-64 model 70 goes without saying (I know they claim that they are remaking them, but they are so expensive, you might as well get a vintage rifle)

[Trey45]

I still say Ruger should bring back the Security Six and Speed Six.
I've been wearing my Security Six all day today. I love this gun.

As far as long guns go, I agree with goodsteel about the 1897 Winchester shotgun. I'd even buy a 1887 as well if they made them again.

[Kraschenbirn]

Ruger #3 in, let's say, .22 Hornet, .30-30, .30-40, .32-40, .357 Max, and, maybe, .375 Win.

Real FN Mausers...any caliber.

[John in WI]

I grew up reading Mac Bolan--so for me it would be the .44 Automag. I'm not sure what I would do with it, but man those things were cool!

[MBTcustom]

I thought of a couple more.
Ruger 44 carbine and 10-22 magnum.

[bowfin]

M1 Garand is one I would like to see as well.

[Dutch4122]

Remington M141 Pump Action

Remington Model 600 carbines, steel vent rib and bottom metal this time; and a modern birch laminate stock from Boyds. Offer it chambered in .358 Winchester also.

Smith & Wesson revolvers with hammer mounted firing pins & no idiot lock.

Ruger PC-9 & PC-40 carbines.

Marlin 336RC with a straight grip and ballard rifling chambered in .35 Remington and .30-30.

Stevens Model 311 SXS shotgun with auto ejectors. Offer it in 12, 20, and 16 gauge.

Desert Eagle in .357 and .41 Magnum.

[RetAFSF]

Hmmm, not sure if ther is enough space but a few that come to mind is the Winchester 1911SL, 1897/1903 Colt Hammerless in .32 & 380, all the Colt Snakes (Cobra to the Anaconda), single shot Stevens "Favorite" rolling block (except in center fire calibers & .22S-LR), have to think of a few more.

[Eutectic]

Yes on the Winchester Model 97! I too cut my teeth on one well over a half century ago. I still use them to this day 10's of thousands of shotshells later!

The full line of Winchester Model 92's and Model 86's too. I like to see the Winchester Hi-Wall and Low-Wall singleshots also return.

Eutectic

[Marvin S]

Maybe model 23 Savage. The only problem is about everything some company tries is a cheap poor excuse for what it once was. What happened to those US Firearms Lightning rifles?

[x101airborne]

The 1903-A3's and A4's, also.
I heard, but havent verified that someone was either already reproducing the garands or was going to. I dont remember who.

My dad just bought a new production military (semi-auto only) Browning BAR made in 2009. Now that is a weapon that MEN had to carry!!! OOF!

[DSL1138]

Colt 1911 in .38 Super, the Colt Model 1903, and the Colt Python.

[Blacksmith]

Savage model 24 in .22 over .410, and .222 over 20 gauge.

The closest thing to a new Garand is the CMP Special grade that has a new barrel, new stock, and metal is refinished. It looks like a brand new gun. Now available in either .30-06 or .308 caliber.

I know I saw it somewhere last year.
They wanted $750 for a new one, so maybe they went under since then?

I saw mention of a 30Rd clip:roll: ????:shock:
Never seen such a monster and probably never will.
I have seen 30Rd. magazines though.:razz:

I want to see the Remington Model 8 or 81 brought back. Love the old spring poles and all the mechanical noise that long recoil action makes, and they make such nice, neat piles of the brass right by the receiver.

Ruger 44 deerfield carbine

You read right, 30 rounds of 35 remington as fast as you can pull the trigger. Very accurate and it likes cast lead boolits. The gun has the regular magazine hard mounted to it, but the big one is packed away safe somewhere.
I keep hoping that gun will be under my Christmas tree some year, but so far, that fat sucker at the north pole just aint gettin the message!

[runfiverun]

Maybe model 23 Savage. The only problem is about everything some company tries is a cheap poor excuse for what it once was. What happened to those US Firearms Lightning rifles?

someone made them, i talked my pop into a 45 colt one some years back.
the might not even make them anymore.
i bought a taurus one and didn't have it a week.

since i am here,i'd just like to see modern versions of classic rifles be made with some quality and effort,and made in something other than 44 mag,357,and 45 colt type rounds.
you know a little class and maybe not so much profit margin.

It seems like I read somewhere that those were made for law enforcement back in the day. As I recall the article said Frank Hamer's bunch had a couple during the Bonnie & Clyde shootout.

[MBTcustom]

It seems like I read somewhere that those were made for law enforcement back in the day. As I recall the article said Frank Hamer's bunch had a couple during the Bonnie & Clyde shootout.

That is correct according to my dad. He told over and over growing up that that was the same style gun that they used to shoot up Bonnie and Clyde.
I actually got to see the Bonnie and Clyde car with my own eyes in a museum in Arizona and it certainly had a bunch of 35 caliber holes along with the 45s.

A model 8 with 30 rounds would be a formidable weapon indeed.

[Ark. Trapper]

I'd love to see the big Winchester model 86 and the sweet shooting Winchester model 52 target. Oh and all the Marlin lever guns without that stupid useless cross bolt safety!!!

[x101airborne]

Com'on Trey, tell us more about that one! The BAR just HAS to be one of the very greatest of all times!

Bob

Couldn't agree more, Bob. I have always liked the looks of the BARs that I have seen, but never held one. Then Dad says Come Over and on his porch there is a new pelican case as big as I am and almost as heavy. Inside is a BRAND NEW BAR!!! Lemme tell you guys something...... there is a REASON that case has wheels. I did not weigh it, but I think that BAR weighs around 25 pounds without the mag, bipod, or carry handle.

[castaroo]

rem 91and 92 with a thicker barrel, cbc122 with a thicker barrel, and of caurse being a aussie the smle in 303b , 303-25 , 303-270 , and the new ones are ****

[L Ross]

My opinion is that we can find any of the classics mentioned far more affordably on the used market today than modern companies would want for new versions. Worse than that an you imagine what new versions would end up like? Think of Maureen O' Hara with a bar code tattoo on her neck and a stud in her lip at a PETA rally.

[R.M.]

Yup, the S&W model 52 in 38 special, not the 9 mil like it is now. And of course, the K32.

26" Model 12. 12ga Smooth bbl as opposed to ribbed.
Same in 20ga.

I grew up w/Model 12s, my Dads "wida maker" is a Monte carloed 32" Winchester proof steel, my Moms is a 28" Fluid steel. I finaly picked 1 up for me 26" proof steel. It felt good when I picked it up smooth as glass...... refitted for a no neck I guess rasberried my cheek 1st thing off. I've that fixed now.

[popper]

a weapon that MEN had to carry!!! Saw a marine (Korean vet) do a full auto mag dump on one in '61. And he hit the target! He said you didn't want to be the ammo carrier. Was Clyde's choice of weapon.

The Winchester Model 21 is available from Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing and is, in my opinion, better than ever. CSM is also making 21's with scaled frames in 28 ga. and .410 bore. Not to be outdone they offer a baby frame Model 21, .22 LR double rifle.

I strongly suggest that you not look at the prices.

[SPRINGFIELDM141972]

M1 Garand

Another +1!

[1874Sharps]

As I recall, Springfield Armory was making the M1 Garand a decade or so back, but when I checked their website it did not list it as one of their products. I do think as the cost of the original WWII/Korea battle rifles continues to rise that it will become advantageous to start making them again. I love the M1!!!

Iver Johnson model 2X single shot 22 rimfire. My dad had one 55 years ago when I was growing up, it would shoot minute of bottle cap at 25 yards, we spent about half an hour looking for a 30-30 case I hit at about 40 yards when I was kid. (That was when my eyes could still see the sights). We spent countless hours hunting with that rifle, it was always a treat when it was your turn to pack it instead of the .410. My brother has it now, he wanted the 22, I got all the rest.

[nicholst55]

I'll second the Model 58 Smith, and add the original 'long butt' Colt Detective Special. In stainless steel.

[Chev. William]

M1 Garand is one I would like to see as well.

I'll Second the "Stevens Favorite" IF it is re-engineered to improve its action strengths while not greatly increasing it complexity nor weight.

Yes, Savage is building the "Model 30" but it is larger, heavier, and rougher than the old "Stevens Favorite".

[Mk42gunner]

There have been many guns listed that I agree with. Here are some of mine:

Remington No. 2 Rolling Block in .22 LR, .32S&WL, and .38 Special.

An affordable entry level .22 that is big enough to last a shooter a lifetime. The little Crickets and the like fit young kids, but they have outgrown them by the time they are 12 years old.

Affordable ammo and components sitting on the shelves of the local gunshops.

Winchester Model 12. I love that gun. My dad had one with a 30 inch full choke barrel. It's the standar by which I measure shotguns to this day.

[Sasquatch-1]

Saw a lot of mention of the Nylon 66 (glad I never got rid of mine) but no mention of the Rem 513 & 514 models. I am sure there have been a lot of rabbit and squirrel take with those 2 rifles by a lot of members here in the over 55 bunch.

Oh yeah, all variations and the Pocket Model that never was.

[Ithaca Gunner]

Winchester Model 61

[smokeywolf]

Another vote for the Garand

Would also like to see Miroku do a run of the Model '76 Winchester in a real super high quality fit/finish with the original spec. 2X Dlx. walnut pistol grip checkered stock in the piano finish. Half octagon barrel, color cased receiver, set trigger, windage and tang tights, butt trap. The whole shootin' match.
An original '76 Winchester in that configuration and in say 80% condition would probably cost about the same as a new car; a pretty nice car.

[Dan Cash]

Just a couple others calling for the 1895 Winchester sans stupid and hazardous rebound hammer and tang safety. .30-40, .30-06, .35 Wheelan and .405 Win for caliber offerings, of course one could also add .25-06, .280 Rem and .270 Win for the less robust shooters.

Would also like to see 99 Savage with early lower tang safety in .250, .30-30, .300, and lengthened to take .308 and .358, with rotary mag, cartridge counter and choice of octagon or round barrel.

Don't want much bus since I am wishing, wish for the best.

[bear67]

Several guns suggested here for rebirth I already have and enjoy. But I have been looking for Rem in M-8 and M-14 preferably in .35 Rem. Oldest son loves anything in a pump.

Was over at my favorite LGS this morning and my friend the owner was showing me a Savage 99 he had traded for in .30 WCF. It was smooth mouthed (way we describe a very old cow), but beautiful. No bluing left, clean dark bore and you can tell it had been carried for many years in loving hands. It is beautiful--could wind up over at my house. We were discussing this very topic of how much it would have to sell for if we could buy a new Savage 99 today.

Part of my fun is in trying to find these old favorites on my wish and like lists, but I probably would buy and shoot several of these classics if reintroduced.

Ex BIL once asked me just how many guns does a man need and my reply was "Just one more."

I would like to see...

The Ruger MK line of 22's rolled back toward the MKII era with less ridiculous features that diminish reliability.

Savage 99's are beautiful guns. They have their own charm.

I love the Ruger Six (security, speed, service...) line as well. For the size of a GP100 or S&W 686 I may as well carry around my Redhawk. I bet they would put it out again but they probably figure they'd only be competing with their own market.

I'd like to see Colt make some quality revolvers again so they'd come down in price enough for me to see what all the fuss is about.

Though I've never had one I've always had interest in a S&W 610. I've always been intrigued by 10mm and 40s&w interchangeability sounds nice. Those who use them say they are really accurate as well.

[Artful]

A modern cartridge shooting Le Matt.
There was a centerfire version in 12mm Perrin or 11mm Chamelot-Delvigne, with a 24 gauge shot barrel was made in later years in Belgium.

But as it's got a smooth bore shotgun barrel less than 18 inches it would have classification under NFA ruling either as short barreled shotgun or Any Other Weapon depending upon how they wanted to classify it. That a Taurus Judge avoids the AOW/SBS definition by having a rifled barrel and pistol caliber (45 colt).

[TheDoctor]

Smith pre-29 , Smith K-38, and Smith 52. Wouldn't mind a 38-44 outdoorsman too! Colt python, and Savage 99. Winslow rifles.

[aussie-dave]

Aussie made FAL (L1A1 SLR). Carried one in my late teens as a reservist before the Defence Force adopted the Styer AUG.

Quite a few years ago, I managed one of my infrequent visits to my favorite Canadian gun store (1300 miles from home).

They had a stack of individually-boxed-up Aussie L1A1 rifles that had to contain at least 500 rifles.... it was HUGE. The store was a major importer/distributor in Canada, and often had interesting items.

I didn't buy a rifle at that time, but later owned at least five or six of the Lithgow-built L1A1 rifles.

They were all imported with the "safety sear" STILL INSTALLED. This simple fact allowed easy conversion (ten minutes) to full-automatic function....... don't ask how i know.

It was fun, but we re-discovered a known fact... full auto in a ten-pound .308 is a great way to burn ammo without hitting very much of anything in the way of rifle targets.

We were paying around $200 for these rifles, back in the late '70s.

I vote for the Remington 600 and the Remington 788....very inexpensive and shoot great!

[captaint]

Gimme a Colt 1903, some REAL S&W revolvers and a nice Win 52 Sporter. OK, and a Win 21. I'm not asking much, right?? Mike

[wch]

Remington pump action model 25.

[richhodg66]

The Savage 99 would top my list. I'm also a fan of the Remington 788.

For handguns, mu Security Six is my go to handgun and I love it, wish they still made it.

I think they still make some incarnation of the Ithaca 37, but I wish they still made an affordable field grade version of it.

[rking22]

Colt Diamondback 22 and 38 AND 32HR
Winchester 67 in 22lr and 32SW long
or Remington 33 same as above
Remington 25
Winchester 42
Ruger single six in 32 with sights
and no plastic allowed!
I know I'm just dreaming , but it's a good dream.

All good suggestions, Rich.

You're right, Ithaca Gun Company, LLC does still make the Model 37, and it's actually better than ever, but not exactly in the "Feather Light" category any more due to tougher steels and thicker barrels. I believe they go about 1lb over the earlier ones. As for price, I think MSR for a field grade M-37 is just shy of $900.00, but they're very nice, classic, and nothing cheap about them at all. They do make some "specialty" M-37's with lesser finishes and materials for less, but the classic '37 isn't a cheap gun to make. It's like making a Model-12 again the way they were made before 1964.

[savagetactical]

Marlin camp carbine .45acp!

I would agree with the caveat that they fixed the original flaws in the design of the weapon. Great little guns till they break.

[savagetactical]

I would love to see the Australian Made 7.62 Enfield imported into the US, for whatever reason that does not happen but I wish it would, that thing uses M14 magazines not really an SMLE or a No 4 but I want it none the Less. Modern steel and a picatinny rail scope mount to ease mounting of optics.

[OnHoPr]

Savage 99 straight grip 284 win & 375 win, Savage 24 in 308/12 ga with switch barrel capabilities, H&R 15" single action 22, a good american made double barrel like the stevens or springfield (WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN DOUBLE BARREL), Goodsteel had a good one the huntsman, woodsman, or target pistols, and probably a few more with thought. Notice basically that the repeaters other than bolt actions are declining in new gun availability for hunting arms and the 223's and the like are gaining. Do they still make a Gold Cup.
