I ask them to make one that takes AR-15 magazines awhile back, posted a link for others to ask as well. Maybe they got enough feedback to design one. If it isn't outrageous I might get one. It has a threaded barrel as well. Very nice.
Maybe they used a AR-15 bolt?

Can't tell but looks like on image on left its cocked back?

Cool rifle though, be sweet in .308

Says it has an internal hammer

Aw jeez….. I’m trying to downsize and between this and the Ruger in .45 Acp. I’m feeling a weird sensation in my pocket… oh, wait. That’s my wallet trying to get away.

This is the lever action I've been waiting for.

So, someone reinvented the Remington 7600 in a lever. Okay…

No hammer on a lever? That just don't seem right. How do you decock? Unload and dryfire, or am I missing something?

No hammer is disingenuous.

Savage 99?

Has a tang safety. Presumably doesn't decock at all.

As I have decided to get out of the 223/556 world, I am intrigued by the 300 BLK option. My only concern is that the revised internals are a departure from the tried mechanics of existing lever actions - I'll have to follow to see if any issues pop up.

Could make a nice companion to my 7615P

I like that.

If somebody was insistent on using a levergun for home defense like many seem inclined to do these days (or at least so the youtubes want us to believe), this makes more sense than a tube-fed, pistol-caliber rifle. Chambering it in 5.56 and using AR mags is brilliant for logistics.

I'd still rather have an AR, and I imagine the MSRP on this thing will probably be about double a viable one of those. It could be a fun novelty, and even a decent hunting rifle though. While I agree that I'd prefer to see an exposed hammer so it could be manually de-cocked, you can't do that with an AR or with most shotguns, so it's not exactly unique in that respect.

I imagine with a fully locked breech and a suppressor the .300 version is capable of being very quiet.

Much like their PCC these are clearly fun guns or maybe ban state blasters. People who buy one will probably already have a stack of ARs. I do worry about the new operating mechanism, however with an AR style bolt head it does not actually need to lock the breech like a knee joint. It probably just pulls a bolt carrier back and forth and a standard AR cam rotates the bolt.

The Homesteader had a very interesting design, too, it just didn't work very well.

tried mechanics of existing lever actions

Many of which are somewhat fragile and overly complicated... If anything, modern takes on them would make them stronger, lighter, and less complex.

MSRP is stated as being $1200-$1400, so it's right at the base price of a viable AR... if not a bit less.
