Tried searching, no go. Has anyone tried the lever-action 223's? Henry Long Ranger and the Browning BLR. Any I'm missing? Looking for a traditional wood-stock 223, not bolt action.

If you're looking for traditional but not necessarily lever, there's the Remington pump in 223. Hard to find, but it's out there.

Also, you might get more replies by posting this question in the hunting subforum.
 
At 55 grains, the .223 spitzer might not be heavy enough to detonate the primer it's sitting on in the mag tube? Step it up to 65 or 70+grains???? It's be an interesting experiment, for someone else to do...when I'm nowhere around.
 
I think Ian from Forgotten weapons had a cartridge explode in a tube feed lever action gun he was testing for a review that had a point in the cartridge. I think to this day they were unable to extract all of the shrapnel from this explosion. So pointy .223 lever action is asking for trouble and maybe why such guns like pointy ammunition is not such a great idea design for this type of gun.
 
Forget about the Henry Long Ranger.

Henry recently released their new .223/5.56 rifle that is MUCH better.

It even takes AR magazines.

The 223 lever guns have box mags..
 
Whoa who would have ever seen this coming. The removal of the tube design feed to a box magazine feed a game changer for sure. Something like this design removes anything like pointy ammunition hitting the primer on the next cartage wow. Interesting for sure I might have to visit a gun store that sells these to have a closer look myself could be a new purchase in the near future for sure.
