    As someone who lives behind enemy lines sometimes the "work around" is a push back. Depends on which work around.

    my interest in this revolves more around it being an excellent suppressor host ( like my current lever guns ) with AR mag benefits. Plus as you mentioned about running a wide variety of speed/weight loads ,in particular with .300bo , with out having to adjust gas blocks/springs/buffers . plus the ability to run a much broader choice of ammo over a traditional lever gun . One other benefit is having a free float barrel for better accuracy over a traditional lever gun making it a great option for prairie dog hunting in .223 .

      This is the main benefit I see. Accommodating a mag lets the gun get spitzer type bullets into a lever-action setup and vastly increases capacity, so now calibers like 5.56 and (more importantly) 300BLK are on the table. Which in turn gives you a rifle that you can fire quickly without taking your hand off of the fire controls, unlike w/ bolt action, but that also keeps the chamber sealed during firing. Huge benefit for suppression. Could make for a good hunting rifle or just a dedicated suppressor host for the range if you don't want to compromise on speed, ergos, capacity, or manual of arms *that* much compared to a normal AR.

    It's not bowing down to provide a product for those in need. Hopefully it's just for the interim. Until the unconstitutional laws are defeated.
    I like these quirky innovations just because they're fun.
    Not everything has to fit into a selected category like tacticool or nostalgic.
    When I can afford them I'd like to pick up a Fightlite SCR lower and a Herring lower. Just to put in my collection.

    I saw this lever action AR on a Shot Show video about a week ago and I like it. I think when more people see this, I think it will catch on fast. It looks really cool to me and I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

  • @hardball107

    I think you kind of missed the boat on just how great the Flightlite lower is or the rifle. I have one I built with just the lower. I did that because the AR platform is one of the most accurate rifles I've ever shot next to my Savage 12FV in 6.5 Creedmoor and levers are not known for moa accuracy. My build started with a Bear Creek Arsenal 18" 350 Legend medium weight barrel and I plugged the gas port. I used a Aero precision upper with a BCM Mloc tube type 11" free float forend with a full rail and a BCM nitrated bolt. Not only is it easy and cheap to load with 158gr 357 XTP's and lil' Gun pushing them to over 2500fps but with a SIG Buckmaster 3x9x50 on top 5 rounds will cloverleaf at 100 yards in a single hole you can cover with a quarter. I have 4 leverguns from 357 Magnum to 454 Casull and not one will shoot that accurately, cheaply, have a box magazine meaning I can use pointed bullets or the versatility of the Flightlite. Hell, I mounted a Romeo 3 red dot, loaded up some 350L with home cast and powder coated .357" 140gr flat point bullets, added a few grains of AA5744 and was shooting for a nickel a round with a supply of $30/k primers and that Flightlite lever just gobbled them up out of a 30 round AR mag, never missed a beat or a beer can at 50 yards.

    I'd be interested as a lever gun fan, but not for that money in the calibers offered. Now, if they sold the lower for say 5-600 so I could slap my 450 bushmaster upper on there......🤔

    What makes it appealing especially in states like NY is it is legal, ca. have a threaded barrel and is immune from LI ensue to now purchase a semiauto rifle. Would be interesting to see if they can offer a pistol caliber version . See no reason it could not be fitted with a 22 lr conversion. An interesting variation would be a 30 carbine

  • @SkepticalTiger
    @SkepticalTiger Рік тому +1

    What draws me to this option is not just the large number of calibers, but possible load development potential. Sure it's a bit of high intro cost compared to other lever actions, but considering the degree of accuracy and in some cases reliability potential compared to standard lever actions this seems like a one size fits all (almost, a 22lr build may be a bit difficult), if this can handle pressures as high as 50 Beowulf we're in business. Effectively I can take this almost anywhere.

    The Fitelite company builds rifles in a factory in Tibet using Buddhist craftsmen who build a rifle a month and ship every Presidential administration. At least that’s how hard it is to get their stuff. And that was WELL BEFORE the 2020 shenanigans.

    Way to much cost for what ya get. Also they only offer it in puny small calibers. If they made an AR 10 version Alot of deer hunters would use it. They won't sell hardly any of these cuz of the caliber selection. This should of been ar10 compatible.
