Ruger XGI

If they do they should include the simplified disassembly features of such modern military style arms as the G3, AR, and AK which avoid unneeded excessive complexity.

Agreed, just upscale the mini-14 garand style action, or improve and strenghten the 10/22. This is what Ruger does best, improve on old designs. Seriously, what could be better for an urban patrol rifle than a semi auto .44 mag that woud take 20 round mags or stripper clips? When is any cop outside of SWAT snipers going to take more than a fifty yard shot? It offers a lot better stopping power and less down range danger to civilians (us) than .556. Put a rubber butt plate on it  and recoil isn't a problem. I shot one of their old ones (which do need to be improved) and found it a pleasure to shoot. Granted, I was done after 20 rounds, but its not a plinking rifle. Plus, for SHTF SD its ideal. That, 4 mags and say 500 rounds in stripper clips, plus a wheel gun like the Alaskan and you're good to go. It will will do great as a deer gun with a five round mag at east coast ranges. Price it at $800 or less in a stainless synthetic model and I'll find the money.

I missed out on the Ruger Deerfield carbine. I wish they would bring it back in 44mag maybe .357mag. The pc9 is a cool little carbine but a 45acp would have been better.
