Several firearms manufacturers currently produce, or have historically produced, lever-action shotguns. These unique firearms, utilizing a lever mechanism to chamber rounds, represent a niche market within the broader shotgun landscape. Examples include models from well-known companies alongside those from smaller, specialized manufacturers.
Lever-action shotguns offer a distinct blend of handling characteristics and firepower. The action facilitates relatively quick follow-up shots, while the tubular magazine can hold a substantial number of shells. Historically, these shotguns filled specific hunting and sporting roles, and though less common than pump or semi-automatic shotguns, they retain a dedicated following for their unique operation and history.
