Of all nations in WW1, the Russian Empire was mainly the one attributed to widely using the lever action rifle in a modern conflict by chambering the 1895 in 7.62x54R, a respectable service cartridge for accuracy and distance shooting. <\/p>\n<p>Because of this, the Russian Contract 1895 has become the single example of military employment of a lever action in a sea of bolt action rifles chambered in full-powered service loads&#8230; but should we have adapted lever action rifles all along? Could lever actions have tipped the scale of modern combat? We investigate. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d like to thank C&#038;Rsenal for sharing their footage with us and making excellent episodes on the Russian Contract 1895 and S&#038;W no.3.
