Saw that, but I think that lever action is center fire using revolver cartridges, based on the ammo shown. Read that Henry recently added the frame-based loading port to some of its center fire lever actions while keeping the loading port on the tube. Have been unable to learn whether pre-1900 Marlin .22 lever actions had frame based loading ports. Suspect they didn’t due to relative fragility of the rimfire cartridge.

A loading port would be lower down at the same level as the magazine tube, while the ejection port would be higher, up at the same level as the chamber and barrel. And the ammo shown in .22 LR. This Marlin .45-70 shows the difference between the lower loading port and the upper ejection port. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuteTheMall Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 These Uberti clones of the Winchester 73 eject from the top, a bit more widely dispersed than a Marlin when retrieving brass at a cowboy action match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railfancwb Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I stretched that part of the picture showing ammo and now I agree that’s .22LR. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railfancwb Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 For many years Mossberg’s only entry in the handgun world was the Brownie, a four shot .22LR rimfire pistol. It was on the market 1919-1932. In later years an Italian company made a copy almost identical in size. After that the Advantage Arms Company offered a similar appearing pistol in .22LR and .22mag in late 1980s. Finally a company - COP - offered a self-named four shot .357 Magnum. Only the Mossberg seemed to stay on the market any length of time. Did they just have such an initial production run it took twelve years to sell them all? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
