Lever-action rifles

Lever-action rifles are firearms that use a lever located around the trigger area to load and eject cartridges. When the lever is pushed down and forward, it extracts a spent cartridge, chambers a new round from the magazine, and prepares the rifle for firing. This action allows for relatively quick repeated shots and is popular for hunting and sport shooting. Lever-action rifles are appreciated for their reliability, smooth operation, and traditional design, often associated with the American Old West. They typically operate with ammunition in tubular magazines and are valued for their unique mechanical function and historical significance.
