Bond Arms Lever Gun

[Ronin]

Not a whole lot of info out there right now, but Top Shot Dustin posted this vid from SHOT about a new lever action AR lower from Bond Arms. Basically, you can use any standard AR upper with their modified bolt, but you have to disable the gas tube. He mentioned turning the gas block around, but I would imagine an adjustable gas block turned off would work better and you could still use on a regular AR lower if you wanted.

Fuckin A - I love shit like this.
Better than sitting around bitching on the internet that "It's STUPID".

Was interested until he said upper needed modified, installing adjustable gas block is viable fix, but still would need to spend more money and do work to use

I'll wait until there's more info about it. I'm wondering what would happen if the DI system was left intact. It's not like the gun can cycle in the lever configuration. If nothing surfaces between now and the Great American Outdoor Show, I'll just ask Gordon or whomever is working the Bond Arms booth about it. Hopefully they have one people can fondle.

They make some unusual gimmicky things.

That thing is uglier than a Hi Point!

TFBTV vid below. Seems it's going to be sold as a full rifle, and not just as a lower. Pricing is going to be around $1500.

They will change their mind once the sales drop off.
It would be stupid to exclude that many potential customers who already have uppers set up the way they like.

Still waiting for Ruger to make a blued 357 lever side loader that doesn't have the load tube like Henry's.

I just watched a Shot Show vid where (Marlin? Ruger?) a new "Classic" model is being released in 44 and 357
