Will They Ever Make The ............ Again ???

[wwb]

The original .44 Carbine.... I ain't gonna hold my breath, though.

 

[TnTnTn]

No-about 15 people would buy one.

 

[Chief 101]

It most certainly is a good one, if I didn't already have one I would buy one...

 

[Jimbo357mag]

Will They Ever Make The ............ 96/44 Again ??? That should be the question. That gun should not be expensive to manufacture and there is a GOOD market for them now. Icing on the cake would be one in 357 mag.

 

[OldHickory]

6.5x55 RSI or No 1 !!!!
Even a 6.5x55 Hawkeye would be nice. I know what my son's christmas present would be if this one was available right now.....

Make that 16.

 

[Snake45]

Jimbo nailed it!

Wow, you don't hear THAT around here very often! :shock:

Congrats, Jimbo. Enjoy the moment. :wink:

 

[FergusonTO35]

How 'bout the #3? I'll take mine in .32-20 please!

 

[pjinak]

+1 for the No.3
I'll take mine in 44 or 223 or ...

 

[57springer]

#3

 

[picketpin]

No way they are going to start mamking #3s again, in any caliber. They quit making them 2 times due to slow sales and that was when there was a lot more cultural/shooter interest in the of a good single shot.

They have cut production of the #1 to a few select models each year. If I really wanted a #3 in 44 mag or 223 I'd go find one of thise already made, and buy it.

There is a real nice 223 on GB right now for an opening bid of $795 and no bids. Surely a new MSPR would be more.

Heck you find a cheap #3 and I'll send you a new, unfired 223 barrel I took off one in the process of making a #2.

I've never paid more than $600 for a #3 but then I look for bargains because I take them apart and am buying "parts".

While I finally got one on the used market, I sure would like to see the African 9.3x62 back in production. It is, in my opinion, the nicest all around African rifle made. If I were young again. I'd buy one of these and a 223 and happily hunt the rest of my life.

[chilidog]

Didn't ruger site say they were going to make 9.3/62 in a 1a?

 

[chilidog]

Make that a 1S

 

[Black Fly]

I love the No. 1. I love the 9.3 cartridges; I currently have five guns in that caliber. The African 77 is such a perfect purpose built rifle, I couldn't replace mine with a No. 1. Just such different guns. That is not to detract from the No. 1, especially in 9.3.
If Ruger doesn't make another run or two of these, I suspect they could become like the 358 tang safety carbine, a near perfect hunting rifle turned into a collector, safe queen.

[smoke-eater]

How about some beautifully figured, dense walnut on their Hawkeyes, like used to come standard on the grand old tang-safety 77's, back in the 1970's?

 

[mohavesam]

No.3.
:idea: - A small series of 30-30; 35Rem; 358Win, 480 Ruger; and maybe 327 fed & 357 Maximum? would be so very nice for real woods venison hunters.
Aww... go ahead and put a Frontier-type fwd mount rib on it just for me!

:idea: - SP101 327 Fed Magnum. This time with a 4" half-lug barrel and real adj. rear sights puhlease.

:idea: - For a new entry: A 96/480 levergun would be an instant Ruger classic also!

Red 21st-century buttpads on both carbines please. :shock:

5.5 in redhawk in 41 mag

Wow...you and I are in agreement. Great choices, I second the motion...

 

[reakin]

I'd like to see another run of 9mm SP101s. Or maybe build some LCRs in 9mm.
