Fightlite Lever Action AR

[PappyM3]

Anybody else kind of interested in one for the novelty?

I’d rather it be a large frame 308/6.5, and I’m not a fan of large lever handles, but still might be neat. Especially in something other than 5.56.

That would be fun in 7.62x39

Sorry. Not at that price point.

 

[Caveman]

I was thinking it may be fun in x39 or 300blk sub.

edit: Suppressed of course. but with how thin that barrel looks not sure how much sag you’d get with a can on the end.

 

[AFAR/PFAR]

Would rather have a Ruger American which takes AR pattern mags.

 

[CRSIII]

Might as well vote dem.

 

[strangenh]

I'd prefer a short-throw Browning BLR that could take AR mags. The real only downside to the BLR is the mag capacity. That thing looks like a government-mandated solution.

 

[tuna]

This just looks wrong. Like two brother kissing while sister takes pictures wrong.

The angle that the lever would work just seems awkward and it looks like it would be a painfully long throw. The rear stock seems mis-proportioned. WHY THE HELL IS THE SLING WHERE YOUR CHEEK GOES???? The magazine release isn't convenient to operate like on a pistol grip rifle. How much alcohol was involved in the making of this rifle? I won't even get into the upper receiver, since I guess that's how they're made these days, so whatever.

 

[Drix]

I could get behind it if it was bigger than 5.56

I don't know if I would call it a AR, sure it takes AR mags but that's about where the similarities stop.

There's no gas system, bolt and carrier will be different, no charging handle, stock doesn't look interchangeable, no pistol grip.

What were looking at here is a mag fed lever which could be nice, and it's set up for modern equipment as opposed to being stuck in the 1800s.

I could almost understand if it was tubular magazine fed. But not a lever action with external release magazine... It would still fall victim to any of the stupid proposed AWB type bans around semi autos with detachable magazines.

If the original post date was 4/1 then that's the only way this would make sense.

Why would a manual action be included in a semi auto ban?

Lol not sure if serious, like @Mesatchornug says, the fact that its not "semi automatic" nulls most of that garbage out.

 

[drgrant]

This thing would be about 1000 times cooler... if it leveraged the fact that there's no buffer tube on it. Wheres the button to make it fold, fold the stock or
something?

 

[WanMan99]

Why would a manual action be included in a semi auto ban?

I have seen language in some proposed bills that include any firearm that can accept a detachable magazine.... So not specifically semi auto but this frankenstein rifle is stuck in between.

It's advertised as 300BO as well. I think it could be neat in 350 Legend. Since it basically just uses an AR upper with a custom bolt carrier, you should be able to drop in most any barrel of interest.

This is kind of something I've been toying with in my head, but haven't even started to put on paper.

@tuna, usually those QD ports are on both sides. You could run it from the other side if you're right handed.

 

[LittleCalm]

Mike's favorite line "Not sure if serious". I'm going to buy this and SBR it and add a folder. Will let you know how it turns out.

There's been language banning all firearms. I wouldn't worry about that yet, the wind is not in their favor.

You know that post that shows a bunch of gun designers, and who would you pick to build a weapon? It's like that was done, but all the top choices were retarded and they weren't allowed to use any design software besides crayons.


Also reminds me of this thread.

See, @snubnose? This is how you tell people you disagree with their life choices. At least @tuna is fun about it.

 

[jkelly1229]

Sorry. Not at that price point.

Do they pay you... damn that thing is fugly

 

[DW357]

Sorry I much prefer the Mossberg 464 SPX....






kidding aside, it's a cool design but not for me.

The more I look, the worse it gets

 

[Mesatchornug]

Really, I want a minimal lower with a Monte Carlo stock (or similar) under an upper like this:

but with this Cerakote:

 

[Mark from MA]

Might as well vote dem.

Anything made to look like an AR that is not an AR is gay because its obviously built for govermnent intervention. Fxck all that.

 

[PATRON]

Tits on a bull.

 

[greencobra]

i do like the look of it, yeah. if i wasn't on the decline of my gun buying days it looks like it would make my list of things to own. and you got to admit, it looks a hell of a lot more sleeker than those absurdities they force you to have in california. and in a pistol caliber, also...9mm, .357 or 44 special. and one when it comes out to play with the big boys...say 45-70 for fun. at 1200 bucks, you should be able to call in your configuration...bbl length, caliber, etc. there i go talking crazy again.

 

[cams]

That thing is a f***ing abomination. lol
Burn it. Bury it. Never talk about it again.
