It's an old J.M. Browning design from 1887. Great guns, the originals that is, the Norinco have had some problems NIB but can be slicked up nicely to run fast. They run smokeless powder where the originals do not. The originals were only 2 5/8in. chambers as well, I think.

Do you'll consider a Spencer a levergun? It has a reloading magazine and works with a lever. Coarse you do have to cock a hammer. There were more Spencers produced and sold than all the early Winchesters combined. (1860 Henry, 1866, 1873, 1876, 1886)
