I'd love to see:

K frame carbine-
.22 lr/.22 mag, 16" barrel, built off 10-shot 17/617 w/ extra cylinder for .22 mag

L frame carbines-
.30 carbine, 16" barrel
.357 mag, 16" barrel, built off 586/686 plus

N frame carbines-
.41 mag, 16" barrel, built off 57/657
.44 mag, 16" barrel, built off 29/629
.41 or 44 mag, 16" barrel, built off 57/657 or 29/629, taper barrel, "Mountain Carbine"

.30-30 rifle-
Governor or lengthened X frame, 20" barrel


Edit: moved some stuff around after looking at pressures
Edit 2: Love the mountain gun, why not give it a companion?

LOL, I am working on the stock and forearm of my 45LC/45ACP convertible S&W 16 1/2" barreled N frame. Reworked the grip frame as well as rebarreled. You can have one it only takes $ or a small machine shop.

I'd love to see it when you finish.
I want to make one in the future. Yours will definitely give me some ideas

Sounds great but I'll take mine in nickel with home fries & bacon please.

With revolving rifles with the cylinder gap spitting out burning hot gun powder how can you not get burned on your arm.

I have now fired mine and didn't notice anything wearing a heavy shirt. But, then having spent a lot of time welding and around welderrs a little hot gas is nothing. What I did notice is due to the fact that your face is closer there is a minor bit of peppering on the face. I do recommend glasses, when you should wear anytime you shoot. A good long sleeve shirt is good, but your arm is actually kind of protected by the bottom and lower front of the frame. Taurus makes or made something similar and they screwed little deflector shields on each side in front of gap. The left side deflector was connected to the yoke. I will see how it goes, but as I made the gun I kept the gap down and I can also open up the forcing cone a little if I have to. Good timing and lock up help of course.

I would definately like to see a N Frame 44 Mag Carbine.

I would want it to have the scope mount cuts in the barrel rib, with a quality picitinny rail mount.

I cannot believe they have not made one of these.

They could sell thousands of them, IMHO.

I have killed a lot of deer and a few pigs with a 44 Mag rifle.
