I think the price point might hurt this. With that being said I’d like to get behind it via a rental first.
A modern 9mm levergun, yes you read this correctly

That thing would gag a maggot.

needs more ammo
I bet they’d prefer a belt fed Ruger.

Ughhhh, worked too long in engineering and logistics, that picture hits me right in the feelz.
I do like the idea of a 9mm carbine along these lines, or even better a .40 cal as @mcb mentioned, but the execution and price are falling short here. Why proprietary mags when they could have used one of the many semi standardized pistol or PCC mags out there? As for the price, $2k is a lot for me for what basically amounts to a suppressor toy, I guess it's not too far out of the norm though, Given what companies like Q charge for Gucci toys in the same general class.

WA state gov started discussing an "assault weapon" ban recently, and I'm sure it will pass. I ordered a 9 mm semiauto PCC within an hour of waking up to that headline! I've been kicking myself for not stocking up on standard mags and maybe an 80% when I had the chance, so don't want to make that mistake again. Gonna put it in a bullpup stock to make it maximally offensive to the law!I read about it last night in Firearms News magazine. Seems like a decent idea, especially those who are trapped in areas that make semi auto ownership difficult.
The reviewers seemed to like the idea and the way the gun performed. I bet if it were a 10mm, so it had a bit more oomph, it would make a handy camping gun for all around use.
If I wasn't too lazy to hunt, I'd have got the 10 mm version. Blacktail deer in western Washington are usually shot at pretty close range, I believe, and a 10 mm bullpup with a red-dot or low power scope would be a hilarious "deer gun," but I suppose it would work adequately.
But $2000 for this? No thanks. I'll shop for another Rossi 92. Revolver cartridges are easier to reload anyway...

I like this for the same reason I like the new High Power in FDE. It pisses off the traditionalists.
I really don't need it in 9mm, but I might squirl the money for one aside anyway. Innovation like this must be rewarded. Oh, and I personally dig the way it looks.

If they released this in 10mm I would be very tempted to pair it with Hi-Points new JXP 10mm pistol.
Silliness aside if the trend is going to be expanding capacity on leverguns now beyond just a tubular magazine, can I get one with the rotating tubular magazines found on SRM shotguns instead?

How about a modern version of the 1886 Josselyn chain fed revolver?
For those jurisdictions where even semi auto belt feds are illegal, but you still want something with a belt.
It was 20 shot, but maybe include a 10 shot chain for certain states.

Can I get it with belts that aren't looped so that my assistant gunner/loader can feed in new belts while I shoot?

Sure, the crew fed version will also come with the 100 round loop chain that can be reloaded continuously while you shoot.

It caught my attention, with it looking like it does I would have just put an AR style safety on there. I'm not a fan of crossbolt safeties, and the AR style safety is ubiquitous and easy to operate.

CraigC, I get along with damn near all your posts, but, that 9mm lever thing is plain ugly. Leave our normal lever rifle alone. Don't give the anti's ANY room to work with.

1. I believe in freedom, so yeah, build & buy whatever you want.
2. The people who designed that monstrosity have to be either stupid or insane. (other than maybe the thing actually works)
3. The people that buy it must be at least as stupid, insane, have zero taste, class, or are high on meth. I can see it selling at $400. Add could say, "It's ugly as ****, but it works". Having a 2 grand price tag???
4. How they got the licensing for the "Tombstone" name, and logo, (I'm thinking that's tied up with the western movie) with that thing is beyond me.
The 9mm is a great round, and not all that expensive. Lever guns are also great fun, and politically safe (for now) in a lot of liberal areas. Why not work towards getting one to work with a tubular mag, and a more traditional design? You could still have 10 or 15 of the short little rounds in the tube. Maybe work on a way to have quick replaceable mag tubes. That thing is an abomination. It's the gun version of being seen driving a Prius, or a Yugo.

Front sights mounted on a rigid, free-floating aluminum handguard has been the popular norm on ARs for as long as they have been the backup sights. If you are not applying enough pressure to flex-bend a rigidly mounted aluminum handguard, you don't need a free-floated barrel. It could be cheaper. I was just pointing out the inconsistencies in their design choices. My AR has the iron sight mounted on a free-float rail, because I don't actually shoot with the irons.

So you must not like the Henry Long Ranger that is magazine fed, because that "gives anti's room to work with."
The anti's will take whatever room they want, no matter what our modern day firearms look like, to say otherwise is naive.

I don’t know when/how fudd central command got the idea to beam out that wood will protect it from getting banned and makes it not a weapon of war.

If it works like its supposed to, then I like it.
Yep, too expensive for me, others can afford it.
It does serve a viable purpose.
I dont care what they look like as long as it gets the job done.
