I guess it is a novel idea but looks pretty ugly to me. I cannot say I have heard anyone ask for something like this but looks like it could be a fun suppressor host.

Hey guys, thanks for tuning in to another video on Forgottenweapons.com, I'm Ian.....

Detachable magazines are stupid, for start. I'm not some nostalgic boomer, but why not a tube and loading gate like every other lever action out there? All the mag does is increase it's profile and make it awkward to handle. And why is the receiver so ginormous? The whole thing looks stupid and impractical, and not in a fun way.

It's hideous.

But I love it. It overcomes the tube/suppressor issues, and allows lotsa rounds, and quick reloads. I predict a super fun host. I don't care for these tactical lever guns but for some reason this makes sense to me.

I actually like it--bet it's a lot of fun to plink with. But I'll be gat-danged if I'm paying $2000 for it!!!! Make it sub-$500 and we might have a chat. What is there, magic elves inside that thing that make it operate?!?! Seriously, what the crap is driving an MSRP of $2,000???

A 9mm Mare's Leg would be an instant purchase for me.
 
Lever guns are a novelty for me, so I’m not paying top dollar for one. $2k is silly.
The Mossberg is hideous with that stock.
Now, if Henry made a mostly-classic-looking 16.25” 9mm with threaded barrel and removable pic rail on the receiver for sub-$700 msrp, I’d take a look at it.

I wonder if you could do a lever with a Bizon style tubular drum magazine under the barrel..... Likely 40 odd rds of 9mm in a 16" gun

I’ve been wanting a .44 mag or .357 mag lever. But like you it’s just a novelty. So I cruise the BST and other sites looking. Your wish for a sub $700 lever, IMHO is a fantasy currently. Henry and Marlin levers are way over priced. Or at least to me they are over priced.

OOF, I missed the price. $2,000.

Nevermind, I hate it.

9mm that doesn't take Glock mags? And costs $2k!

I made the assumption that the mg was something standard.

Inventing a new specific mag for something these days??? Are they nuts? Oh wait--the $2,000 price tag answers that for me!
 
I feel like this is an answer to a question nobody is asking
It’s not hard to make a PCC cycle subsonic loads
The PCC landscape is flush with plenty of models and options - I’m not sure how popular a $2K lever action will be. I am sure a handful of YouTube keyboard warriors will have glowing reviews up real soon
 
People have been talking about 9mm leverguns for decades - I'm guessing there's issues with tube-fed and rimmed ammo?

If it wasn't priced on crazy pills I could overlook the mags, because that is a gun that will rustle some jimmies and made Fudds froth at the mouth about "muh two Indian Wars!!!!".

I was thinking the same thing. With the popularity of the 9mm over the last 25 years, you would think somebody would have already come out with one.

Tubes are limited in the amount of rounds and they are slow to load. A mag fed lever makes since to me. Low or high capacity mags, quick reloads, plenty of room on the belt for extra mags.

I would have thought that someone would have converted a 92 winchester/clone to mag fed by now. There is already enough room for a mag where the lifter is and it shouldn't take much to convert the bolt to be able to pickup the round from the mag.

Combining a lever action and detachable magazine feed is just a novelty. If you needed more firepower, capacity and/or faster reloads, you probably wouldn't be grabbing a lever action in the first place.
 
POF has gone down hill since their founder's passing.
First they hinted at releasing PCC - based on their rebel line up - which EVERYONE was looking forward to. Then they dumped it on the public with proprietary magazines (being that they are double stack, single feed is even more insulting) and in Direct Blowback....from a company famous for their piston actions....
This, if I am correct, is suppose to use those same magazines which is just revolting. So many good double stack-double feed magazines to choose from; like CZ scorpion magazines, which have already been used as factory magazines in other platforms to include AR9s and AK9s.
But who even asked for this? Yea suppressing it would have been cool, but who the hell wants a 16 inch barrel for 9mm? If it was in 300 black out, it would be outstanding for suppressed use, but a rifle only configuration for 9mm is beyond asinine. As far as I can tell, there is no plans to offer this in a Mare's leg configuration

Oh, and name it after the town in which a tyrannical police representative banned civilian gun ownership, except for his own gestapo, and ignored the confines of the law to travel outside his jurisdiction to execute people he suspected of involvement in his brother's murder is just lost on the times.

Yep, it would compete with all the other novelties out in the gun world. If it's priced right, it would make someone a lot of money.

Absolutely. I have no problem with novelty guns - they have their place, especially for collectors. I consider myself a collector, but this isn't for me at $750, absolutely not for $2K.

Proprietary mags and the fact that the handguard is going to make it impossible to cut the barrel make this seem like a non starter
 
That thing is super fugly. I’ve never even heard of that company.
 
So I actually was talking with the head of the company about this very project a year or two ago. :) Their reasoning for this rifle was wanting to make something that was a manually-operated action so they had something that wouldn't be considered an "assault weapon" in the event the government went after semiautomatic firearms. They basically didn't want to put all their eggs in one basket. They wanted to put their own design touch on a lever action rifle that would be fun to shoot, relatively practical, and at least let them have *something* they're tooled up and making in the event the government says they can't make autoloaders anymore. I'm not saying this is my favorite rifle design ever either, it is a little harsh on the eyes and it is too expensive. But you have to look at this rifle from the perspective of portfolio diversification of a business, and then it starts to make a little more sense.

Anybody familiar enough with POF to know what the red circle/dot means? My guess was California Compliant (maybe the 10rd mag comes with it instead of the 20rd)…but I didn’t see it mentioned on the website.maybe even non-thread + 10-rounder?

This. It should do decently in ban states and is already on the market in the event we all become ban states.

I kinda like it. Would be great as a suppressor host, as has been said. Not keen on the price or proprietary mags, though.
 
Oddly enough the only thing that bothers me about this at first glance is the fuggly pic sections at the end of the rail. That and of course the price. It's a neat idea though probably a ton of fun, shame they didn't stick with Glock or Scorpion mags, I imagine all 3 people who buy this will love it.
 
Ew….just ew….

Wood and blued steel 2023!
 
I'd rather see it in . 45ACP, but still, eh.

You should talk to him about a little pump action in 9mm or .45ACP. especially if it can be fired with the trigger down and working the pump. And it needs to be able to feed flat tip 147gr subs.
I think that would be fun. And I volunteer to be a field tester. :)

I came here for that exact question. Would this be legal as is in ban states?

Running a lever gun is considerably easier than a bolt action and pump action rifles are not very common. $2k is a hefty price tag for us but the value of a $ is so low in commie areas 2k isn't unreasonable honestly. Median home price in Cali is like 600k now. $2k rifle is nothing.
