I would like a drop action or falling block action with a 54 caliber one in 80 twist and a 32 inch barrel. A PRB rifle in stainless with a camo stock and a built in rail for a scope on the barrel.

An inline having a slower twist with the right type of rifling that's conducive for shooting patched round balls wouldn't be such a bad idea. It would probably also need to have the option to use percussion caps. And a lot of folks really want to shoot the big bores, so they might even go for an inline if one were made in .58.
Those TC .58 big bores are hard to find and folks can't find enough of them.
Even a .54 wouldn't be so bad.

Knight would probably figure out a way to encapsulate flint in a plastic housing, then make it a requirement in the design of their rifle.

:s2: And it would be .56 caliber.

Percussion and flintlock. :happy0001:
I would be out hunting with my 54 cal Northern Plains Hawken
right now

Good idea. As long as they offer a slow twist barrel too. I'd buy one.

Oh wait! They wouldn't make a LH model. Screw Knight!

It could be a Wheelock with a motor driven wheel and a spring loaded flint like a Bic lighter.l

Are too!!! I've traditionally used a Bic to light my pipe for as long as I can remember.
