I was reading this gigantic book about World War I the other day. I was thumbing through all these old photographs of doughboys. I noticed that there wasnt a single lever gun. I know the GI weapon was the Springfield 1903.
Im just curious as to the fact if any lever guns like winchester, Marlin or any of the old west type guns were used in the war. I mean, the calibers varied and they have seen years of battle in the west. Was it due to the action itself that it wasnt carried? Jam to easily or something?
Just something Ive been wondering.
