Scorpio64 5,120 Posted January 25, 2023 New: Bond Arms Lever Action AR-15 We Got Our Hands On this Modern Lever Gun That Accepts Standard AR Uppers, AR Mags, and Remington Shotgun Stocks Quote Whether you love them or hate them, modernized or so-called “tactical” lever action rifles have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. We can attest that our own Marlin 336 Dark Series project is a ton of fun to shoot, but it still has a few downsides. The magazine tube can only hold five rounds, it must be reloaded one round at a time, and the manual of arms is substantially different from a modern semi-auto rifle, leading to a steep learning curve. At SHOT Show 2023, we found a new Bond Arms lever action rifle that fuses this classic operating mechanism with the ergonomics, capacity, and modularity of an AR-15. The Bond Arms lever action AR lower can be used with any milspec AR-15 upper, feeds from an AR-15 mag, and accepts a variety of Remington 870 shotgun stocks 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSRP of $1500 hopefully street prices will be around 800-1200 range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to admit, it does fill a void for many lever gun lovers, they can now use pointy bullets. The ballistic coefficient of tube fed lever gun ammo is about that of a brick. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would even be sweeter if they just sold the lower assembly as another option! Save the extra cash for the ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Exposure 5,635 Posted January 26, 2023 Bless your heart… Robert R Howard (creator and author of Conan the Barbarian) lived in Texas and based his description of Conan’s homeland Cimmeria (endless vista — hill on hill, slope beyond slope, each hooded like its brothers) on the Hill Country outside Fredericksburg, TX. Oh, and that is an ugly rifle…. But I kinda want one. First, I need to build my SCR and tacticool levergun. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,134 Posted January 26, 2023 I mean, if you live in a very restrictive State and that's the only way you can get something SLIGHTLY resembling an AR. But the entire "lever action" and "tactical" fusion thing just looks fuuuuuuugly to me. But what do I know, I like Mac n Cheese with hotdogs. So to each their own.
