To load the Henry lever action rifle, you rotate the follower and lift it out of the feed tube. This makes room to load seven rounds in the feed tube one by one. Return the follower into the feed tube and rotate it until it locks in place. Looking at the picture on the top of this article, you will see a familiar-looking trigger guard setup on the underside of the gun, plus a really big loop attached to the back of the trigger guard. The lever action rifle works by pulling down this lever, which opens the action to eject the last cartridge used. You then push the lever back into place, seating the next round. You must repeat this action with each shot.
