c1870s MAINE EVANS NEW MODEL Rifle .44 High Capacity Rotary Tube Magazine
1 of 3,000 SCARCE 28-Round Repeater
Here we present an antique Evans New Model Rifle made by Mechanics Falls, Maine. Frequently referred to as “one of the most novel repeating rifles of the 19th century”, this .44 caliber centerfire carbine was manufactured between 1873 and 1879, with a total of 12,200 Evans rifles and carbines made, with 3,000 being the “Sporting” model. The New Model rifle and carbine, which is not serialized, utilized a revolving type magazine with a full capacity of 28, .44 caliber metallic rounds loaded through the butt of the 30” long round barrel. The hammer is mounted on the underside of the frame, just ahead of the breech lever and was manually cocked. The frame is rounded at the top and has no cut outs on the side. The forend fits square to the receiver front while the dust cover sits over the loading aperture. The forend is secured to the barrel via a single barrel band sling swivel. Another swivel is on the bottom of the stock at the heel.
The Evans repeating rifle enjoys the distinction of being the only mass produced firearm ever attempted in the state of Maine. It also holds the greatest capacity of any repeating rifle ever produced and marketed in the United States.
The overall condition is very good. Plum patina throughout. The markings are clear. The walnut stock shows use and remains solid. The bore is in great shape with nice rifling. The action is excellent.
