A Budget, Modular, Tactical Lever Gun

‪@JamesReeves‬ is at IWA 2024 talking to the Hugtek reps about their new tactical lever gun. This is a gun that is made in-house by HugTek, who also perform the surface coating in addition to the milling, machining, and assembly. It’s a surprisingly solid lever action that’s good looking and modular, with plenty of MLok, places to mount accessories on the stock and hand guard, and even interchangeable furniture. Best of all, it should be in the $300-dollar-range.

Suppressed tactical lever gun for slightly more than €400? Hell yeah!

[@SymonSR20]

My man Mustafa was really proud to be in TFBTV and to be fair, this rifle is so cheap that they deserve to be interviewed. Also, Americans don't be surprised by the price. Here in the EU we have a lot of really cheap Turkish firearms.

[@DirtyFilthyPeasant]

He looked so happy to show how smooth the action is, good for him, need more people enthusiastic about their products.

[@parkave2406]

Welll we know there’s a lot of cheap Turkish firearms. The thing that sets these guys apart is the in-house manufacturing. Not to mention that the slim lightweight receiver looks so appealing all around. The whole gun looks clean in terms of quality for the price they’re offering it.

[@tacticalsapper]

No we don't have a lot of really cheap Turkish firearms. German, Belgian and American, some CZ.

[@kevinforget549]

The great part is that it actually is budget unlike other "budget" guns and accessories. The Turkish Benelli m4 clones being 1/5 the price of an actual one gives me faith that strong demand will get us even cooler stuff from them.

Top eject, love the lever design, space for heavier gloves(a problem I've had to deal with). Very tempting.

[@Chiller11]

Lever action is just such an American icon. Lever guns were pretty much rejected by most of Europe except a few desperation Winchester 1895’s in WW1. I know the Italians are making some pretty copies but I don’t know if I can get out of my narrow Winchester, Marlin, Henry worldview.

[@ZaneDouglas1]

Am I seeing this correctly, that the ejection port is on the top of the receiver? A modern lever gun should really have a side ejection port. The top port hinders optic placement and can damage the optic that is mounted directly in front of it. Bummer because otherwise this is a good lucking tactical lever rifle.
