So you thought you have seen it all in the AR world? Well, then meet the mind-boggling Red Ryd-AR lever-action AR-15 by BrickWurX Manufacturing. When I came across this project, all I could find were the photos from the BrickWurX Mfg. Facebook page that you can see embedded in this article and a YouTube video which you can also watch below. I contacted the company to see if I can find out more about this firearm. Luckily, John Brickey, the owner of the company replied and kindly answered all my questions.

Initially I was planning to write the article based on John’s answers, however, our conversation became more like an interview and I’ll simply quote it below.

I can see one of these in a sci-fi movie.

You’ll shoot your eye out.

Is there a compass in the stock?

Looks like a Planet Of The Apes gun.

Yes, Running with scissors may be more effective. ;)

I like. Wonder what the People’s Republics of California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, etc. will say? Not a semi-auto so...

This looks like something ‘w1n1’ would post.

OK, what was the first thought as soon as you saw the red Ryder head line? LOL, I am sure everyone thought the same thing. “You’ll shoot your eye out.”

One question: “Why???”

"Wonder what the People’s Republics of California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, etc. will say?"

Well, the rumor is that those folks will move on to banning finger nail files that aren't made of paper, and have rounded ends once they are finished with guns. /sarc

Yep!....................

At that barrel length, I wonder if it would be useful chambered in 5.56, or maybe something meatier like 44mag?

Cowboys and Aliens

I enjoyed that movie...

I love me some lever actions. The only thing missing is a large loop as I prefer that since I have big hands and often wear gloves in the winter while shooting.

I'm not particularly fond of the way the stock is, but again, I enjoy lever action rifles, so I could be talked into buying one by asking me a simple question: "want it?"

Or even .357. But I really don't see an advantage over the good old lever action 30-30

[Red Badger]

yes, it was weird but good!..............😀

More rounds in the magazine.

[Robert DeLong]

That might be the only place you see one. 8>)

Seems more like a novelty item to me.
