Slappy you can insert extra rounds on a lever action just like you can a shotgun. The lever has to be in the up or closed position. Fire three rounds and quickly slip in three more to replace them.

In most home defense situations ideally the best HD rifles are AR-15s with a fully loaded magazine or an AK/ similar. You can argue the point forever if you want to but a reliable, light recoiling, semi-automatic rifle in cartridge that gives great terminal performance at close range is near impossible to beat.

There are other guns besides ARs that will shoot the same 223 round. Like a Mini-14, Kel-Tec Sun 2000 or whatever its called and IIRC Beretta makes a 223 carbine. I would rather use my Marlin 9mm carbine than my AR. Less muzzle blast and with the right bullets no over penetration.
