==Rifles== [[File:Colt-_Lightning_.22_Rifle.jpg|thumb|The [[Colt Lightning Carbine|Colt Lightning]] pump action rifle]] When used in [[rifle]]s, this action is also commonly called a '''slide action'''. In the late 19th and early 20th century it was referred to as a '''trombone action''', because it functioned similarly to the [[trombone|musical instrument]] of the same name.<ref name="Brophy1989">{{cite book|last=Brophy|first=William S.|title=Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a9XL74ykUykC&pg=PA435|year=1989|publisher=Stackpole Books|isbn=978-0-8117-0877-7|pages=435–436}}</ref> [[Colt's Manufacturing Company|Colt]] manufactured the [[Colt Lightning Carbine]] from 1884 to 1904 chambered in [[.44-40]] caliber.<ref name="Flayderman2001">{{Cite book | last=Flayderman | first=Norm | author-link=Norm Flayderman | title=Flayderman's Guide to Antique American Firearms... and their values | date=2001 | publisher=Krause Publications | location=Iola, WI | isbn=0-87349-313-3 | page=669}}</ref><ref name="GOTOW">{{cite book | last = Boorman| first = Dean| title =Guns of the Old West: An Illustrated History | publisher = Lyons Press| date = 2004| pages =128 | isbn = 978-1-59228-638-6 }}</ref> The slide action [[Winchester Model 1890]] chambered in [[.22 caliber|.22]] caliber was one of the most successful repeating rimfire rifle made by [[Winchester Repeating Arms Company|Winchester]].
