Gun Stuff You Want a Manufacturer to Offer

[Hank6046]

Some sort of standardization of the AR10 platform that allows a person to truly "build" a rifle
Edit: I now see that this was previously posted by another person on the board

Just watched Terminator again the other night and it dawned on me that I haven't heard any old farts call someone pal since at least the early 90's.

An Arisaka Tactical handheld in the SF executive vein. And sell extra pocket clips for when I break the Mofos.

And while on the handheld light vein. I'd like one with a programmable output setting, and or bezel rotation output adjustments. Like all the way on for high, backed off a click for low, ect, ect. And User configurable for the needs of the end users. While I'd like a nice high output for immediate use, being able to back it off to 100 or 200 for GP stuff but with a 10 hour run time, or 40 lumens for admin usage, would be bitching. Keep the package under $200 and make it slim, light(no pun intended) and durable and you should sell well.

How about a Geissele 10-10.5" SMR.

I emailed Trijicon asking for a generous eye-relief ACOG type optic that can substitute for a battery-powered RDS. I asked it to have a simple reticle, be tritium and fiber optic powered (i.e., NO batteries required), and have at least the eye relief of their most eye-friendly optic the TA33.

(I noticed they made the TA45 but for some reason this optic is incredibly hard to find. Midway USA lists it as a "one time" run).

So what's on your list?

About 12 years ago (holy smoke, is it THAT long ago?!) I put a TA45/amber triangle on my AR. I got it for the exact same reason, lots of eye relief, wide FOV, etc. I liked it then and still do. If I ever have to send it in I may change to a red triangle; but it's been an outstanding optic. A few years later I sprung for a TA-33/red horseshoe on another AR which gives me 3X and still decent eye relief.

I could go for one of the TA44 red circle dots but I think I'm GTG with the above.

The new Mk 18 that has full M-Lok all-around in that length, please.

Reproduction Colt 601 sling.
Green and brown scales for the M7 bayonet (or a straight up retro M7 bayonet with green and/or brown scales and an M8A1 scabbard).
Reproduction pre-1964 USAF M16 magazine pouches.
Fakelite 601 furniture (not just the brown stuff, give it marbling).

BFG Retro VCAS (slings) - with hardware for M1s, M14s/M1As, M16s, XM177E1/XM177E2/GAU-5/A/As - in black (with black leather pull tab in LE form and OD#7 in regular production), OD#7 (with tan or russet leather pull tab in LE form and OD#3 in regular production), and OD#3 (with tan or russet leather pull tab in LE form and OD#7 in regular production form).

An unobtrusive method of mounting a SureFire Scout to an M16/M16A1 and other retro rifles and carbines.

ETA: I also wish BCM would bring back the pre-"gas buster" charging handles. Just so they look less "wrong" on a retro or homage rifle.
