Ruger has a "Contact the CEO" button on their website, maybe you could start one here and pass on the info until Heritage wakes up and provides a button on their website to contact their new CEO, Bret Voorhees. My suggestion would be to make Coffee Mugs with the Heritage logo, similar to my Ruger and Henry Mugs. I prefer the shorter ones such as the Henry and red Ruger Mugs. Many of us have Rough Riders and Henry rifles.

My thought would be to make a line of single shot 22 rifles simular to the Win Falling block, Rem Rolling block, or Stevens Favorites. All were used as Army training rifles back in the day. And were popular civilian rifles. arket the as youth rifles but not shrunken like the Cricket line. [that no adult can shoulder well.] DR

Love to see a “Pretty” classic looking .22 single shot. Start with the look of a Ruger #1 design.

I like this idea! With the VP posting on Facebook, we can put the sugestions there as a post or reply as well as old fashioned mail once we get a good amount it.
The only issue I can see is that their Rossi brand builds rifles, so any rifle idea would be branded a Rossi, not Heritage. That doesn't mean there isn't room to expand the handguns.

I wonder if the Rossi 92 in 22 has a King's gate. If you look at the cartridge barrel, there's no cutout near the front for loading like a Henry.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they just took a picture of a stock C/F model ‘92 to give an idea of what the .22 would look like.
Model train manufacturers often show a picture of an HO gauge loco when introducing a smaller N-scale model.
I’m not sure if they ever built a prototype Rossi model-92 in .22, maybe just wanted to float the idea but probably decided not challenge Henry’s present domination of the .22 lever action market.

I'd like to see something like the old Ithaca Model 49s. Single shot lever actions are great for teaching the young 'uns.
The coffee mug is a great idea too, especially the short style.

Keep the ideas coming. I'll forward them to Heritage/Taurus.
