The Volcanic Repeater is a very important gun in history. At the time, most other firearms were muzzle loaded. A joint venture led to the creation. The Jennings Rifle Company had Horace Smith and Daniel Wesson working for them, and they teamed up on this pistol. This led to the partnership of Smith and Wesson a year later in 1854. Oliver Winchester, one of the company's investors, effectively dissolved the Volcanic Repeating Arms company in 1857, later relaunching the company as the [[Winchester Repeating Arms]] Company. The Volcanic Repeater mechanism was heavily influential on Winchester's classic lever-action rifles, including the Henry rifle (1860) and the [[Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"]]. Two of the world's largest gun companies are here because of this collaboration.

The Volcanic lever action magazine firearm was patented February 14, 1854 by Smith and Wesson and manufactured by Smith & Wesson, The Volcanic Repeating Arms, and New Haven Arms Companies until 1860.

How exactly would one be able to work the Volcanic Repeater one-handed with any efficiency? I ask only because I recently got RDR and such an action design looks like it would require two hands to work with any speed. Seems like it would be extremely awkward, too. For a rifle it makes sense since you can put your whole hand into working the lever, but with the Repeater it's pull the trigger, flick the lever, pull the trigger, flick the lever. I could see someone under stress mistakenly trying to pull the lever and flick the trigger, then getting shot by the other guy. :S [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 18:46, 26 February 2013 (EST)
: Maybe you're supposed to work it one-handed, ''a la'' John Wayne? - [[User: 2wingo]]

Same way Hollywood does it. Flipcock it.[[User:Mr.Ice|Mr.Ice]] ([[User talk:Mr.Ice|talk]]) 21:18, 26 February 2013 (EST)
:Maybe that would work for a heavier and longer rifle, but a pistol--probably not. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 07:37, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
The Volcanic Pistol, Carbine and Rifle were not manufactured for .22RF. Simply because they did not use rimfire cartridges, but rather improved rocket ball ammunition. - [[User:MarsVoyager|MarsVoyager]] ([[User talk:MarsVoyager|talk]]) 07:52, 27 January 2018 (EST)

MarsVoyager: The Volcanic Rifle Butt Stock

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this whole trilogy take place in the 1860s?

:dont think its a trilogy, the good, the bad, and the ugly takes place in civil war, but is the last flim. the first two were based in you standard western time period of the late 19 century. also charters that were killed in one movies, show up again in others.

hold on a minute.... There's no way the Buntline Lee van Cleef is using with a stock is 12 inches. it's 10 at most. and the one in the satchel is 18", not 16". i might be wrong, but the Gun with the stock looks way to short to be 12". I took the liberty of correcting that.

*Being brought up during their original American cinema release, the films were marketed as the series of 'The Man with No Name'; but there were all kinds of inconsistancies from a real series (i.e. Bond, Flint, Helm etc). The original European releases just featured Eastwood in three separate Westerns, but as United Artits acquired all three they played them up that way.[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] 20:19, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

=== The Volcanic Rifle Butt Stock ===
The butt stock of the Volcanic rifle used by El Indio and Manco is not of the original Volcanic type. You can see on the picture with El Indio that the butt plate is straight rather than the half-moon shape of the Volcanic (and the Henry). Moreover the stock seems to have some "lightening cuts" or similar, seen on the picture with Manco. Do you have any idea of a type of butt stock with these cuts and a straight butt plate?

[[Image:FFDMHenry1860-2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Manco and the butt stock with "lightening cuts"]]

:My guess would be some surgery was done on the stock and action so it could chamber blank cartridges, since it's impossible to make a blank Rocket Ball. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 03:34, 14 January 2018 (EST)

::There are also some additional small pieces attached to the frame sides. Perhaps to hold a crack together. The rifle is not seen to be fired in the movie. Do you have any ideas on the butt stock? [[User:MarsVoyager|MarsVoyager]] ([[User talk:MarsVoyager|talk]]) 02:02, 15 January 2018 (EST)
