I’ve been recently watching a series of Made for TV movies. Or maybe they’re direct to disc. They’re based on the Robert B Parker “Jesse Stone” series of novels and star Tom Selleck.

In one movie, a character uses a lever action rifle with a removable box magazine. I’ve never seen a lever action rifle before that didn’t use a tubular magazine under the barrel (except for an old Spencer which had it’s tubular magazine in the stock.) So, what current lever action has a removable box magazine?

Hmm, there’s even an internet movie firearms database. I’m not surprised…
