Here's a (non)nostalgia piece
Remington79. a functioning replica of the BAR would be the cat's meow. Everyone who cannot afford to buy or to feed the huge 50 BMG rifles would buy one, I am sure.
When the U.S. Army invited bids for handguns in .45 caliber to replace the (inadequate) 38s in 1906. DWM, submitted two Luger pistols adapted to the .45 ACP cartridge. They were withdrawn from testing after the first round of tests, for unspecified reasons. One of the DWM pistols, serial number 1, was destroyed in testing; the remaining instance, serial number 2, is considered one of the most desirable collectors handguns in existence. paraphrased from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.45_ACP).
I propose that a .45 ACP Luger with the P-08 Toggle action would be a fun pistol. The fixed barrel might be an advantage for accuracy, too.
