Gun related question for the non-experts

I think the expert page is full of drama queens so I'll ask it here.

Why is there no interest in a lever action 223? Sounds fun saw a Browning 22-250. Rather have it in 223.

I think it is because they come from different times in the evolution of firearms and ammo for them sort of like an computer controled Braking on a 1960 Corvette

Could it be the pointed bullet to a primer type of problem in a tube magazine?

Don't need a tube magazine. Browning makes a 22-250 with a box.

Drama? Considering what is currently going on in the Hearing Protection (suppressor) thread in this side of the GB hallway, I find that statement bordering on amazing:

We have it under control. It's become civil now and we're behaving ourselves.

That's a beauty SCOUT5 found on the auction side.

when you have a lever action, you are going to have tube-fed rifles.

I don't think Hornady made a Lever-Olution round in .223... because no lever .223.

so if they don't make one, who is going to make a lever .223 that loads pointy ammo?

chicken and the egg problem.

anyways bolt action, yes. lever, no thank you.

But I want a lever action that uses 75rd drum Pmags.

Henry also chambers a lever in 223

I have often found I like guns that are not made. A lot of times I could take several guns and combine them into what I want. One example is when Marlin was, well, Marlin; I wanted a 444 and/or 45-70 with a stainless trapper length barrel, semi-pistol grip stock, ghost ring sights, etc. It was never offered as a production gun in that configuration so I ended up with a stainless GS, taking the stock from an XLR and combining it. Later, I found out they did indeed make a limited production of 500 uncatalogued for Davidson's called the STP (and similar SDG) but they are too expensive to use as a tough hunting gun.
Anyway, I see that all the time where I ALMOST like what is available, except for this or that. Used to be a .17 hmr Savage like that too but don't remember the details on it since I never bought/ade it.

Winchester did alright with the 1895.
