Lever Action
A lever action is a type of firearm mechanism that uses a lever to load and eject cartridges. When the shooter operates the lever, it cycles the action, allowing a new round to be chambered. This design is commonly found in rifles, such as the famous Winchester Model 1873, and is known for its smooth operation and reliability.
The lever action mechanism typically features a tubular magazine located under the barrel, which holds multiple rounds. This allows for quick follow-up shots, making it popular for hunting and sport shooting. The design has a classic appeal and is often associated with the American Old West.
