Hamilton was a company founded by Clarence Hamilton of Plymouth Michigan. From 1898 to 1945 Hamilton manufacturer 14 different models of good quality affordable 22 caliber rifles.
The proper word is "recoil." The action of firing a bullet causes the rifles to recoil against the shooter's shoulder.
They can be either direction.

No. In fact, I can't find any model 336 Marlins made prior to 1948. There should be a one or two letter code if it was manufactured between 1948 and 1968. I believe a Marlin with a serial number starting with 24 was made in 1976, but can't find my reference for that right now. I believe 1976 is the correct year. Here is a web site that I have used to get manufacture dates for my Marlin. http://oldguns.net/cgi-bin/f2f/f2f.pl?http://oldguns.net/q&a1_05.htm
Winchester made a total of 720,609 rifles & carbines between 1873 and 1923. The best source of a breakdown of rifles and carbines would be the Buffalo Bill Winchester Museum in Cody, Wyoming, which houses the Winchester factory collection of firearms and the historical records of Winchester Repeating Arms Co. TexasCharley Winchester '73s were manufactured for 50 years, from 1873 until 1923. A total of 720,609 rifles and carbines were manufactured. The 32" barrel is the rifle barrel. The best source of a breakdown of rifles vs carbines would be the Buffalo Bill Winchester museum in Cody, Wyoming, which houses the complete Winchester factory collection and Winchester's historical records. TexasCharley -- VERY RARE -- Actually, the standard rifle barrel was 24" long. Muskets were 30" long. A 32" barrel would have been a special order, and barrels that long are exceptionally rare. The gun should also have other special order features, sights almost certainly. One one of every 600 rifles produced had a barrel longer than standard, and 26" or 28" was by far the most popular special order length. I would bet no more than a couple hundred on the outside were ever produced with a 32" barrel. That said, any such speciment encountered MUST be checked for authenticity. A factory letter is a MUST, if the information is available. Also, a hands-on evaluation by someone very familiar with that model (knowing how far apart the magazine bracket dovetails should be) is another must. If you have such a rifle, in any kind of decent condition, I would insure for $5000 minimum. sales@countrygunsmith.net
It was invented by Clarence Hamilton at the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company in Plymouth Mi. In 1882. However several Pellet guns were in use before that. But Air rifles we made by H.M. Quackenbush starting in 1876.
In the USA
S&W did not make the rifles. Howa made them and S&W branded them.
North America
I believe that current made rifles are made in the state of Maine.
South Persia Rifles.
ranger was its own company
Ilion, New York, USA
The precise number of Winchester Model 1894 rifles that were manufactured is unknown, however, the number is around 7.5 million. This rifle was designed by John Browning.
Maker of inexpensive boy's rifles. Did you have a question?
Clarence Hamilton made the first Daisy in 1895 in the Plymouth Iron Windmill Co, Plymouth Mi. However he is not the first person to make Air guns. Lewis and Clark also had an air gun on their journey across the country to the Pacific. Before that the Austrian army had air rifles in 1779 that were designed by B Girandoni, these rifles fired a 51 caliber ball as large as a mans thumb.
