HENRY RIFLE
This early and excellent magazine gun, largely improved, is now generally known as the Winchester. It may be used as a single loader or a repeater. As a repeater, the motion of the lever withdraws the spent shell of the previous charge, raises' the hammer, recharges the gun and relocks the breech mechanism. With single loading, the cartridge is placed in the carrier-block, and a single motion puts it in order for firing. See Winchester Arms.
