Lefaucheux

Lefaucheaux, M. - Patented one of the first practical breech-loading shotgun actions, using his proprietary Pinfire cartridge. The action operated by a forward-facing lever on the underside of the forearm, which when moved 90 degrees to the right, caused the barrels to slide forward and then to drop down exposing the chamber.
