My vote would be for a return of the Magnus II glue on 2 blade.

    160gr STOS has been my favorite broadhead for Elk for many years, fortunately I have a dozen or so left, I do wish the Magnus heads were still being made.

I love glue on broadheads, but the sad truth is it would only be a money losing operation for a new start up.  A few that have been around a long time (like Zwickey) can still squeak a bit of money out of them.  Magnus bailed out for a reason.

A lot of good ones gone but IMO probably the biggest loss is the Snuffer.

Slowbow;
I have to agree with you.  Look at the number on glue-on options for any of the current manufacturers.  I have been squirrelling away a couple heavy Snuffer heads here and there.  Mainly from folks backing down in bow weight.  Still have 1 STOS head mounted on a tapered Cedar someplace.

I have a stash of 'deadhead' similars in Abowyer Whitetails.  They are heavier for sure but have that wicked cut.
Get bamboo.

My thumb is where it stopped in the target. Not bad for a 40 pound bow shooting a 20 year old Rothaar Snuffer I had forgotten I still had some and found them last weekend.  I shot them and all hit my ten ring.  I sharpened them and decided to use them this year over my Magnus Killer Bee’s.

A couple old out of production heads. Razorheads are fairly available although some folks think they have gold by their asking prices.
The other head was one of my favorites and killed the big hog in my avatar photo. They are very scarce. Only have three left (with inserts) and one is in my quiver next to the No Mercys.

I’d like to see the old modoc chief’s too. I remember them from the old McPherson catalogs before we had 3 rivers and interwebs. Similar to HH heads

I think it was McPherson archery if I remember right. Lol. Been a while

I would love to see the old STOS broadheads come back. I think they moved from Colorado to Texas and then disappeared.

I still have unopened pacs of the originals might be letting them go soon...

I like the Carbon Express Piledrivers but they have not been around the last couple of years.  That said the more I try different heads, the more I find more that I like well enough.  Like Magnus Stingers.  Took two animals with them in Africa.  They worked well enough. 
Get em sharp, hit em in a good spot, they will die I guess.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.
