Others

1860 Lever Action: Similar to a Winchester, but loading is different. You have to grab the follower under the magazine tube, push it all the way forward, and rotate to open the magazine. Load the rounds through the front, then close the magazine.

Evans Repeater: A high-capacity lever action where rounds are inserted through a hole in the stock.

Martini-Henry Magazine Conversion: A conversion of the single-shot Martini-Henry that includes a magazine. You open the magazine box to load rounds, then work the action to automatically transfer rounds from the magazine box to the chamber.

S99: Contains a rotary magazine located inside the breech, with its own ammo counter.

Spencer 1860: Uses a detachable loading tube, so it’s faster to reload. Unlike most other lever actions, working the action doesn't cock the hammer, you have to cock it manually between each shot.

Winchester 1895: Uses stripper clips! Open the action, then drop the clip on top of the breech. This feature only exists on the Russian 7.62x54mmR version.
