    Tombstone lever action 9mm

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UtwwmbsjIg


    Ok it's as ugly as sin, and I would never be able to bring it out in civilized company (just about anyone who likes lever actions).
    But even with the eye watering price, the attraction of a cheap to feed center fire lever action plinker means I want one.

    Did I mention how ugly it was?

    I'm torn whether to like these or be mortified.

    They'd be super cool for yeeting small things with 147gr sub loads.

    Depending on price point I could be tempted in the future.

    Would also be alot better if they took Glock mags but that's only due to the cost and reliability of Glock mags.

    I know exactly how you feel. I think why it's almost getting a pass mark is because there is no attempt at trying to be even semi traditional. As they have not tacticooled an existing traditional design I am a lot more forgiving. Not exactly a traditional lever cartridge as well.

    Practical, cheap to feed, can mount a red dot, scope, or use the open sights.

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Tactical Imports is planning on bringing them in. I think price is going to be around $3000.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Here's something similar in .223. It should make a great goat gun.
