Gentlemen:

In my post below titled "Contemplating the Amish assault rifle concept", I had absolutely NO intention of suggesting that anyone hold still for the restricting of any type of firearm. I merely had an idea for a neat rifle that I wish someone would make, because I am an admirer of the .223 cartridge as a settled-area varmint and utility round, and have also always liked the old Savage leverguns.

If anyone was offended by my post, sorry about that. We are in a fight for our liberty, and most likely for our lives as well, because I do not think that many of us will give up our liberty without putting our lives on the line to preserve it.

At least I hope not.

I have no desire for one personally and I can guarantee my wife doesn't! I will continue to fight tooth and nail against a ban (I do have others in my stable that would probably be lumped into a ban). There are other 223 platforms that would interest me as well. 223 is a neat little efficient cartridge.

We need to fight these folks right to the end.

That being said, I do wish Remington would make an appropriately scaled down 7600 in .223 and ship it with 5 round and 20 round magazines. Not some matte blue and polymer thing either. Nice walnut and a decent blue.

The petite Browning 22 rifle.

I made this suggestion over on The High Road a few years back. Browning/FN should scale down their BAR to .223 size, build it to accept AR magazines, and offer two versions. The first being a typical Browning, high gloss and polish. The second to emulate a WWII BAR, with parkerized metal and smooth, oil finished walnut.

I am willing to bet both versions would sell like hotcakes.

Of course that sort of brings me back to my favorite wild idea. Take a Winchester 42 or a Browning .410 BPS, and rework either into a pump .30-30 rifle. Add a spiral magazine like a Remington 141 and chamber either to .223, what's not to like?

I particularly like the dual BAR option in .223, a great idea.

If only every manufacturer would market a decent semi auto in .223 with the capability to take a large magazine and sell them at a decent price we could be in tall cotton.
