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.

No worries

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.

A scaled down 7600 or 7400 would be great - sort of like

The petite Browning 22 rifle.

Baby Browning BAR

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.

Nice walnut.............

Where did THAT come from?

Never admired the looks of the AR before, but that thing is slick!

And when Turnbull gets ahold of one...
