Jedediah Westwood Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on the new lever action AR 15 by Bond Arms. It uses a standard AR 15 upper but has a lever action adapted lower. Is it a sass gun?... no. Is it practical?.. possibly. Do I want one?... absofreakinlutly!

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Only if it would escape confiscation if we had to endure assault gun bans (and my farm was overrun with groundhogs). GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.D. Daily Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Less expensive than the POF & uses AR uppers. The POF is 9mm only. I have other rifles higher on my bucket list. Just now, H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 said: No bayonet lug, no interest. Hopefully you have an upper with front site/gas block with bayonet lug or you could replace the free floating hand guard & barrel nut with delta ring barrel nut, two piece hand guard & gas block.

July Smith Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 If I lived in a state that was restrictive on semi-autos I honestly would find one of these lever guns more appealing than the CA compliant style ARs, assuming magazine capacity/detachability restrictions would no longer apply because it is not a semi-auto. I think it is a smart move to make it compatible with a mix of 870 stock parts and AR uppers. I assume because there is no buffer tube the bolt is not a standard AR bolt meaning that one could not truly put any AR upper on it but would be limited to calibers that share the 5.56 bolt face. I would also think a lot of standard style AR sight/optic setups will not work well with this Bond Arms because they will be too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the video at the link the interviewer asks if AR-15 uppers can be used & asked if just the lower can be purchased. I suspect that the lower engages the auto bolt carrier at the rear of the bolt & rear of hammer slot. Same part of bolt carrier that trips the M-4/M-16 auto sear.
