Scout rifle and survival handgun? « News, Articles and Information
I would like to start a company making firearms, and I have a few ideas that are not on the market and would like to know if there is interest in them. I would like to make bolt action rifles in .223 or .308 with the following features: Controlled round feed (Mauser style action)Integral Weaver scope mountsFeeds from an AR15 or M1A (M14) magazinesHas AR15 style flip-up backup iron sights (BUIS)22 inch button rifled, target crowned barrels (tyring to get sub-MOA accuracy)Dual front sling swivels for both a sling and bipodI want a weapon that would make a good law enforcement patrol rifle, sportsman’s rifle, all purpose firearm. I will do my best to bring it in at a reasonable price, under $700 if I can, under $1000 will be a must. So what do people think? Would you buy it? Is my estimated price too high for the features I mentioned? I have other ideas I would like to try as well:A Thompson Contender pistol upper capable of handling .460 S&W, 454 Casull, .45 Colt and 3 inch .410 Gauge with external muzzle threading for a muzzle break or external threaded choke tube (no wrench required), adjustable fiber optic iron sights AND weaver rail, for the ultimate survival handgun. A modern high capacity, locked breach handgun in 7.62×25 Tokarev.I would be thankful for any feedback on these ideas I know there is a .45 Colt/.410 Gauge barrel for the Contender, I have one. There are two problems with it.1) it will handle the high pressure .45 colt loads, but they are expensive and hard to find in stores.2) you have to use a choke wrench to remove the chokeSince 454 casull is a easy cartridge to find now days, and is cheaper than the Buffalo Bore .45 Colt, and all three use the same rifling twist and the chamber is deep enough for a .410 you just need to make the barrel pressure rated for the .460 S&W. And with an external threaded barrel, you will not need a wrench to remove the choke, making the switch between shotgun and pistol faster, and if in a pinch you had to fire the shot shell with the choke off the gun, you will not damage the threads.Let me just say:I have been a life long shooter and sportsman. I have competed at Camp Perry in service rifle. I have served with the Army and local law enforcement. I have a masters degree and working on a PhD in metallurgical engineering, and have worked as a machinist and in fab shops. These ideas are things that in my experience I would like to own, and am curious if there are other people who would like them or would like to add options or their own ideas. Please, I ask you nicely, don’t use this question to just insult me.
