DPris and JohnKSa, you two DON'T know what you are talking about. All you have on your side are facts and logic! Plummer has .........watched T.V.??? Darn it, you two are just WRONG!!!!! Get a life!!
The lever is not firing that rifle. The fairly large, obviously visible screw sticking through the trigger guard fires that rifle.

Not a difficult concept to grasp, really. The screw, as has been said, could be backed out so as NOT to fire that rifle when the lever was closed. That way, the rifle could be cycled and fired one shot at a time by manually pulling the trigger with your finger as a "normal" rifle could. When tightened down, the end of the screw tripped the trigger when the lever was closed. So, again the lever itself did not fire the gun. The screw did. Plot devices in a script from a fictional T.V. show do not effect the facts. Since you are the one getting argumentative and hostile about a prop rifle on a long dead fictional television show from fifty years ago, perhaps it is you that needs a life? Like you, I too have had enough ignorance for tonight "dude".
Anybody that can look at that picture and tell me the lever is not firing that rifle is in way over their head.
