Arizona's Patriot Ordnance Factory has announced a new gun they bill as the first magazine-fed production 9mm lever-action rifle ever made.
The new Tombstone by POF-USA is the black rifle company's take on a modern lever-action chambered in a pistol caliber. "Initially offered in 9mm," the carbine uses the company's proprietary magazine already introduced last year with the Phoenix PCC. While this is sure to solicit quick groans from folks who already have lots of Glock, Beretta, Colt, or SIG pattern 9mm mags around the house, the company markets the new line of 9mm bananas in 10 and 20-round formats with a 35-rounder promised for a cost of about $30.
Now, as if the news of the proprietary mags weren’t bad enough, the asking price on the Tombstone series is $1,962 for plain black models and $2,097 for FDE. Still, those looking for a Fallout vibe or who already own a Phoenix PCC will be freakishly happy with this new chapter in the lever-gun game.
