message: What do you call it when you use the lever to reload?  Since it's not a pump-action rifle, calling it "pumping" doesn't sound right.  Thanks.

message: The Volcanic was probably the first lever action repeating rifle.  It came out in limited production in the 1850's. It was "copied" by Jennings, then by  B. Tyler Henry, then by Winchester. Improvements on the basic toggle-link design of the Volcanic  were  used in the 1873 and 1876 Winchester.  This article makes it look likwe the "lever-action" was invented in 1860. Why isn't the Volcanic  mentioned?  Wiki even has an Article on it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_rifle - Cached.68.231.184.217 (talk) 13:25, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it has something to do with most single-shot lever-action rifles don't feed or extract as part of the operation of the lever. Most are feed cartridges by hand and extracted by hand.Pigoutultra (talk) 17:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

message: One significant reason for this was that it is harder to fire a lever-action from the prone position (compared to a straight-pull or rotating-bolt bolt-action rifle).....Wrong, you can turn the rifle in horizontal position to load it.
Lever-action firearms are also generally fed from a tubular magazine, which limits the type of ammunition that can be used in them..... Wrong, the Winchester Model 1895, you forgot the Savage Model 99, the Browning BLR, the Finnwolf SACO are Lever-actions with a box magazine. The tubular magazine is not characteristic for a lever-action rifle. 1855/60, when Henry developed the Henry Rifle, box magazines were not yet invented. hmaag (talk) 09:35, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
