The lever-action rifle has a 5-round tube magazine, fed by a loading gate on the left side of the receiver. This rifle is chambered for .45-70 Government rounds. The barrel may be customized with short or long ported barrels. However, despite these modifications changing the length of the ammo tube, its capacity does not increase. Unlike other rifles, recon scopes are not available for this weapon, nor are there any mods that improve reloading speed. However, it may be fitted with a compensator to reduce recoil or a suppressor to reduce the noise of its shots.
Allen Lee in the Far Harbor gun store also sells one or two every two days.
Legendary versions appear both in Far Harbor and in the Commonwealth, once Far Harbor is installed.
Notes[]
Though the long barrel mod extends the magazine tube as well, the ammunition capacity remains at 5 rounds regardless.
On the cover of Astoundingly Awesome Tales issue #2 (The Starlet Sniper), a type of lever-action sniper rifle can be seen used by the Starlet Sniper.
Regardless of how many cartridges are fired, the Sole Survivor will load 5 cartridges as if the gun were empty. This is due to the rifle using the same reloading mechanic as any other gun and not one similar to the reloading of weapons by one round at a time as seen in Fallout: New Vegas.
In third person view, the rifle's hammer does not lock back.
