Bond Arms® Blends Classic Design and Modern Performance with the LVRB
Granbury, TX – Bond Arms®, renowned for innovative craftsmanship, proudly announces the imminent release of the LVRB lever-action rifle. Evolving from a visionary concept into a production reality, the LVRB shatters convention by seamlessly merging classic lever-action aesthetics with modern modularity and performance. Select examples from the very first full production run will be on display at the 2026 SHOT Show, with anticipated customer deliveries beginning in the second quarter of 2026.
Engineered for the contemporary shooter, the LVRB is chambered in .223 Wylde (compatible with both .223 Rem and 5.56 NATO), and features a robust platform designed for future caliber conversions, including .300 Blackout, .450 Bushmaster, and .350 Legend. Its defining feature is compatibility with ubiquitous standard AR-pattern magazines, offering unparalleled logistics and high-capacity versatility in a lever-action format.
The LVRB advances the platform with a refined short-throw lever system for rapid cycling and superior ergonomics. Safety is paramount, featuring both a cross-bolt safety and a grip safety. A full-length Picatinny rail atop the receiver and handguard provides expansive mounting options for optics and sights. By eliminating the traditional gas system, Bond Arms achieves a cleaner, more reliable action while bringing the sight axis closer to the bore for enhanced accuracy.

BOND ARMS, INC. is located in Granbury, Texas, and manufactures the award-winning Bond Arms Derringer - the finest in double barrel protection. Originally organized under the name Texas Armory, the company became incorporated as Bond Arms in 1995 with the idea that the Remington Model 95 over-under, single-action derringer could be converted from an Old West anachronism into a modern & reliable handgun. The barrel and frame were redesigned to safely fire modern calibers & the entire handgun is constructed entirely from stainless steel. This makes for a pistol that's both strong and durable.
