Win. 1895- .30-06.The only lever action chambered for a rimless auto round I can think of was the Marlin Levermatic in .30 Carbine.
Auto pistol round.Win. 1895- .30-06.

Marlin 36 series- .30, .32, and .35 Remington
Browning BLR- .30-06, .270 Win. 7mm Rem. Mag. + others I can't remember off the top of my head.
Savage 99- .308 WIn., .243 WIn., .358 win., 7mm-08 Remington, .284 Win.
I'm sure there are others, but this was just off the top of my head.
I'd like to find something similar to a Rossi 92, in either 9mm or 45.acp.Ammo commonality and cost (in "normal" times.)
Id buy a 9mm, short-throw lever gun. The only lever action chambered for a rimless auto round I can think of was the Marlin Levermatic in .30 Carbine.
Was on their site looking around ... I know quality isn't cheap but ... WOWSomeone does!

Capacity for people in non-removable mag statesWhat would be the benefit?
.45 ACP is no better than (maybe even slightly inferior) .45 Long Colt and .44-40, and 9mm isn't a big improvement over .38 Spl and less than .357.
I read that and was astounded too! It better come back like a Turnbull for that price.CUSTOMER SUPPLIED RIFLE!
There are people that do it but prices are high because demand is so low.
I agree however,...
The flip side is that the demand is so low because the price is so high....
If they built it, people will buy it.
For .223 it's only five rounds and for the "big" calibers it's only four (not including one in the chamber, and you can go that route). Mag swap is easy and fast, but due to the wide open lever forward swing an extended mag isn't possible. It's definitely the rifle's biggest drawback and you either take it for what it is with that limitation, or you don't.True, but what's the capacity in something like that?
Ha!! The limits of having a virtual conversation!! I'll leave the quote in place, though, if it's OK with you, so it doesn't look like I'm answering a ghost post.Edit: Video above answered my question.

Henry makes a couple of lever action rifles that are chambered for rimless center-fire rifle calibers and are fed by a box magazine. Using the box magazine they could easily produce these rifles in 9 mm and .45 ACP. I would suppose they don't because there's no demand.
Here's my Henry Long Ranger in .223 Rem - note the box magazine:

Yeah, there are some of us “one of everything” guys out there but not enough, it seems to maintain production. Then once they go out of production, prices get stupid because of the low production numbers.
How you get things like the Ruger 44 that was made for 25 years before being discontinued because production costs and market price made the margins too small. Only made 250,000 over 25 years. On the flip side the 10/22 came out a year later and sold millions over the same time. As a business owner, what would you do?
Auto pistol round.
Partially true.
I'm not being argumentative but I'll add....
Ruger only produced the 44 for 13 yrs, not 25 yrs
Ruger ended production in 1974...that's 47 yrs ago.
