The lever action was, of course, *the* American rifle from like the Civil War until after WWI (at least). So why weren't lever action shotguns more popular? The popularity of lever action rifles should have been a huge driver to adoption of lever action shotguns.
Instead, the number of lever action shotguns ever produced can't be anything more than a tiny percentage of the number of pump guns. Gosh, there's only a handful of different models of lever action shotguns ever made.
What gives?
