If you are interested in possibly one of the most Innovative American-Made Truly Tactical Lever Guns in decades, then the LVRB (pronounced Lever B) will be a perfect fit for you. This isn't a Refresh or a Cosmetic Update. Bond Arms has engineered, patented, and is now releasing in limited quantities the LVRB. A firearm so different, so unexpected, and so undeniably cool that serious collectors and enthusiasts have been buzzing about it for years.
Why did Bond Arms design and patent a True Tactical Lever Gun???
At Shot Show 2019, right before COVID, we were sitting around after the show, and we started talking about if we built a Lever Action, what cool features would we want to add? After discussing what things we liked about lever-action guns, we started talking about how we could improve the features and performance. Most Lever Action guns have a very long lever throw, so we thought it would be cool to do a Short Lever Throw that would be smoother than the normal long throw. We also thought it would be cool to utilize all the new technologies in play over the last 60 years in the AR market and make it a magazine-fed system.
We spent the next few years designing our concept. When we brought the prototype to SHOT Show 2023, we simply wanted honest feedback. Some thought we were crazy for building an AR-type lever gun, but the response was overwhelming—and RECOIL Magazine named the LVRB Best Firearm of SHOT Show 2023. From there, the real adventure began. We partnered with vendors to design custom tooling and established new production lines to bring our dream into reality.
“As soon as you cycle the lever and pull the trigger, you know you have just felt the future of lever-action guns. You find, just as 1000s of others at Shot Show found, that this might just be the shortest, sweetest, crispest lever gun they have ever held.
When you get the chance to try one out, you'll be hooked.”

More specific features of the Bond Arms LVRB include:
- A rotating bolt for strength and precision.
- Chambering of modern cartridges.
- Utilization of modern materials.
- Mag Release: The magazine release extension makes it feel like an AR-15. We have also added an ambidextrous release.
- Safeties: The system utilizes the out-of-battery safety inherent in conventional AR-15 bolt carriers, as well as both a crossbolt manual and grip safeties.
- Lever Loop/Stock: The lever loop is configurable both for personal preference and to match readily available Remington 870 stocks.
- Compliance: While the system was originally envisioned as a quiet and fast-handling suppressor host (also allowing full capacity in short barrel configurations, unlike traditional lever actions), ironically, the same manual action resulted in a compliant design for restrictive states.
- Caliber: We are launching in .223 Wylde with 300 Blackout coming soon. We will be launching more caliber options in the future.
