The Patriot Ordnance Factory Tombstone is a lever-action rifle chambered in 9mm Luger with a 16.5-inch barrel and 20-round capacity. It takes the traditional lever-action format and updates it with an aluminum receiver, MLOK handguard, threaded muzzle, and adjustable ghost ring sights — a configuration that appeals to both lever-gun enthusiasts and shooters looking for a pistol-caliber carbine with a different manual of arms.

Detailed Features 

At 5.75 lbs the rifle is light enough to handle comfortably over long sessions. The 20-round capacity is generous for a lever gun and cuts down on reload interruptions at the range. The 3.5 lb single-stage trigger is on the lighter side for this action type, which helps with accurate shot placement. The MLOK handguard gives real mounting real estate for lights, bipods, or a foregrip. Threaded 1/2x28 muzzle works with standard 9mm suppressors or muzzle devices. XS Ghost Ring sights give a wide field of view and quick acquisition — useful in lower light or fast-paced shooting.

The POF Tombstone in FDE draws genuine enthusiasm for doing something different in the lever-action space. The combination of 9mm chambering and a modern feature set — MLOK, threaded barrel, aluminum receiver — gets attention from people who want lever action but also want to run accessories.

The 9mm caliber comes up frequently as a practical draw: ammunition is widely available and inexpensive, which makes it a natural range gun. The lever action itself gets positive marks for a smooth cycling feel, and several users describe it as fun to run.

Build quality feedback is generally positive, though some commenters note specific components or finish areas they'd like to see improved. Ergonomics divide opinion — some shooters find the balance and handling comfortable, while others note the weight distribution feels off when fully loaded.

Customization potential is a topic that comes up a lot, given the MLOK handguard and threaded muzzle. A portion of users view the price as fair for what it offers; others feel it's high relative to other 9mm lever-gun options. Reliability with certain ammunition types has been flagged by a few owners, so running some ammo variety early on to confirm function is worth doing.
