All Bolt-Action, Lever-Action and Historic Rifles

This is a child group of Rifles and Carbines, collecting the Small Arms And Sidearms subcategory's manually operated and early-era rifles: bolt-action service and sporting rifles, lever-action repeating rifles, breech-loading and muzzle-loading black-powder rifles, flintlock and percussion-era designs, and rifled muskets that predate self-loading actions entirely. It spans several centuries of small arms development, from flintlock muzzle-loaders through twentieth-century bolt-action service and anti-materiel rifles still fielded after self-loading rifles became standard. The 43 members here share a manually cycled or muzzle-loaded action rather than a single era, which is why the group name states both the mechanism and its historic character rather than a narrow date range.
