Call me crazy, but I'm thinking of a carbine chambered for .357 Mag and fed by a box magazine, in either a Cx4-style layout (using the 9-round .357 Desert Eagle magazines), or in a conventional layout, using proprietary mags.

That would be cool, but don't rimmed revolver cartridges like the .357 have problems with ejector when used in automatic weapons?

Its harder to make a reliable 357, coonan 1911-ish magnums have a sweet rep though.

I'm pretty sure Coonan recently started production again

As to the heavy barrels, the medium contour fal was tested and hit sub moa with match ammo, the standard barrel was a 2+ inch gun. I think a heavy barrel does affect it, say all you want about real world applications and "good enough" but i want the best i can get, especially if i used it in 3 gun or other competitions.
