I read recently that Henry are going to release or have recently released a range of lever guns chambered for .223, ,243 and .308 - Has anyone come across any articles or information on them?

I couldn't find anything from a cursory Google search. Perhaps a new range to be announced at Shot? Do you recall where you read about them David?

Yes and by chance are the 223's and 308's made to use AR15/10 mags if so? I believe that would be the best course, what with the Mossberg MVP's and Ruger Precision's out there.

Sixshot6. Lever action rifle don't take that type of magazine. They are a tubular magazine.

Browning, Winchester and Savage all made integral box magazine lever action rifles.

Absolutely. I've also seen a Browning BLR in .223 converted by Armalon to feed from AR15 magazines.

The one's I saw were Mini 14 mags and only ruger ones (aftermarket's didn't work for some reason).
