Ruger Flagship Pistol Caliber Carbine.

I love what Ruger has done with the 5.7 LCC. They should make it in all of the pistol calibers. What does Ruger do better than others? Takedowns and switch barrels. While everyone else is making plastic hinges to hold their guns together Ruger does takedowns which is far more solid and accurate. Look at the 10-22. It's still Barbie for men.
I picture a LCC with a collapsible PDW stock and a takedown system like the 10-22 that also allows barrel options. The 40/10mm could become a 357 Sig etc. I personally see 357 Sig as the most versatile round of them all. I can get 68gr bullets to 2,000+ fps from pistols and almost 3,000 fps in a carbine. 200gr subsonic is almost 300BO territory.

Another idea that the voices in my head just had was something like the AR57 in 9mm etc. High Capacity, Accurate, bottom eject for brass collection, possibly even takedown since Ruger does that better than most. The bottom eject alone could make it a go to for Special Ops.

I don't have a LCC mostly because of ammo cost. I can shoot 300AAC for a similar cost and .223 cheaper. Since I'm leaving the job that somewhat demands a PDW, I won't pursue the 5.7 further.
A LCC with 8.5-10" barrel and legal(ish) folding brace would be a good compromise. Even better would be a folding stock and P&W suppressor to make the required 16.1" barrel. Now THAT would be the real deal for those who need longer range w/o ear ringing muzzle blast.

That's why I suggested making the LCC configuration in a number of calibers with barrels as easily swapped as the 10-22!

What I am getting from these threads is that most are happy with their Jon Boat and have no use for a Flagship. Man's got to know his limitations I guess.

Something absolutely awesome would be to bring back the 44 mag carbine in takedown with all the modern stock options.

...and a detachable magazine!

If you bang up your Jon boat it ain't a big deal.

It used to be that manufacturers would always have concept products for the shows that might even have some form of limited availability for actual enthusiasts.
