Looks cool. I am sad to see it lacks open sights. A 16" compact version with skinner or XS sights would be cool.
Get a Remington 7615P
The bigger problem is that you would be limited to blunt-tipped bullets. The reason you never see pointed bullets in .30-30 or .222 loads is that in a tube magazine each bullet could/would act under recoil as a firing pin with really nasty results.
Well, shazam! I just was browsing Henry rifle company, and here it is: https://www.henryrifles.com/rifles/the-long-ranger/ The Henry Long Ranger!
Might not be a bad idea as a backup SHTF rifle. It comes in .308 and .243, as well. While I don't have a .308 gun right now, I do have a few boxes of good .308 ammo. Hmmm.

Those are awesome looking guns, guys! I want one of each!
I'd really love to see Henry do the Long Ranger in their All Weather finish. That would be HOT! To accept AR mags would be gravy! If they did a tube magazine, it would probably hold 7 or 8 rounds, but it wouldn't be quick to reload.

In a tube magazine fed rifle the sharpness of the 223 bullets will likely cause detonation of ammunition within the tube.

My god, I need one of those in .223 and one in .308... right now.
I love levers.
Guess I had better read all the posts before posting myself.
Does anyone make a lever action rifle in .223/5.56? I was just thinking, if semi auto's or AR style rifles were banned, what would be my rifle of choice to use with my stock of ammo? Of course a bolt action would work, but I feel a lever action would be quicker, or at least more comfortable to cycle quickly, for me, anyway. However, I've never seen nor heard of a lever action in this caliber. I'm not even sure the casing rim design would lend itself to a lever action.
Just curious.
