Action:
A firearm’s action is the mechanism that presents a cartridge for firing, removes the spent case, and then introduces a fresh cartridge. Various firearm action types exist, and the term action is also used to indicate the method by which that mechanism works (single action, double action, lever action, bolt action…).
