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

Perhaps the
Advantages section should list that it's possible to reload rifles with this action using only one hand? It may be a bit of a party trick, or a Hollywood affectation, but John Wayne could do it and so can Arnie (as seen in Terminator 2, when he's riding the motorbike and keeps reloading

It's just that the term "lever action" has been wharped in time to a generic that makes one think first Only of a repeater--Winchester, etc, but is technically all-inclusive of All levers. It's like using the colloquialism: "Victrola" to describe all old hand-cranked record players, when only

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.

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.

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.

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/Volcanic_rifle - Cached.

No, this isn't true. Lever action Is Lever-action. Just like bolt-action Is bolt action; doesn't nmatter if it's a repeater or not. The predecessor has first dibs.
