This rifle is a lever-action tubular magazine rifle, a lever-action rifle is the use of a lever to cycle the action, typically integral to the trigger guard as it cycles the breech bolt rearward in the receiver as the action is operated. As the breech bolt moves rearward, an attached extractor pulls the spent cartridge from the chamber and an extractor propels the empty cartridge either from the top of the receiver or through a port on the side.
