Herring Model 2024

HERRING MODEL 2024 - MODERN LEVER ACTION RIFLE 

The Patent-Pending HERRING Model 2024 is a family of high-performance, extremely accurate and modular lever-action firearms that provide for flexible calibre and magazine reconfiguration at the user-level, without tools to support virtually any shooting profile. HERRING is a clean-sheet revival of the lever-action concept and significantly advances the state-of-the-art for lever action rifles and pistols bringing them fully into the 21st Century.

HERRING raises the bar for the lever-action repeating gun by incorporating the latest materials, techniques, and practices into a modern, lightweight, accurate and user-configurable, calibre and magazine convertible lever-action firearm family.

The HERRING Model 2024 is designed with performance, configurability, ergonomics, ease-of-use, optical compatibility, and hard-working utility in mind. It leverages the vast MSR accessory industry in an identical way to a standard AR-15 for different calibers, barrel lengths, optical sights, silencers and accessory mounting needs. Also like an AR-15, the HERRING Model 2024 utilises off-the-shelf AR-15 bolts and barrel extensions, which gives it even greater flexibility and allows it to access the huge catalog of calibres and commercially available barrel units for that rifle.

Mechanically, the HERRING Model 2024 family uses a rotating bolt like an AR-pattern semiautomatic, but the bolt carrier is cycled by a manually actuated articulating lever. FightLite’s HERRING Model 2024’s lower receiver has lineage to the highly successful ARES/FightLite SCR Sport-Configurable Rifle. A great deal of commonality has been retained between the SCR’s lower components, and those used by the HERRING Model 2024; and it also accepts all AR-15 (STANAG) pattern magazines, including 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 100 round AR magazines.

Due to its modern, magazine-fed design the HERRING Model 2024 doesn’t suffer from center-of-gravity shift as a tube-fed rifle does when loading or firing, nor is it limited to round-nosed projectiles. It can be easily unloaded, via simple removal of the magazine and a single cycling of the action to remove any chambered round. Because it can be quickly and easily loaded and unloaded, it’s also possible to easily swap between two different types of ammunition within one calibre as specific shooting conditions dictate.

The patent-pending HERRING Model 2024 is a thorough modernisation of the lever-action rifle concept itself. HERRING Model 2024 marries the proven accuracy, adaptability, and high performance of the AR platform with the established power and all-American rugged dependability of the lever-action repeating rifle.
