Lever action mechanism probably "cheaper" to produce on Grineer colonies than if they go for electrical charge or any other advanced propellant. As colonies usually don't receive much love than the home world. Bolt action is pretty much superior than lever action, as in real-life why almost all hunting rifle (or sniper) switch to bolt-action, but that exist lever-action too, for novelty purposes however. Might this be the same case, then Grinlok could be seen as "novelty" for Grineer populace, either for entertainment or age romanticism.

In any case, yes, lever-action is pretty outdated for Warframe universe. But I'd still like the idea of having "old" weapons in contemporary world settings.
