Description:
1877-79 MAINE Antique EVANS NEW MODEL Lever Action .44 “Carbine Model”
1 of 4,000 SCARCE 28-Round Repeater
Here we present an antique Evans New Model “Carbine” Rifle produced circa 1877-1879 by the Evans Repeating Rifle Company of Mechanics Falls, Maine. Over the lifespan of the company between 1873 and 1879 there were under 15,000 total rifles made in all models with roughly 4,000 being the New Model. The New Model rifle and carbine, which are 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 on the rifle and 22” long barrel on the Carbine. The hammer is mounted on the underside of the frame, just ahead of the breech lever. 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 Evans repeating rifle enjoys the distinction of being the only mass produced firearm ever attempted in the state of Maine during the 19th Century. It also holds the greatest capacity of any repeating rifle ever produced and marketed in the United States.
The overall condition is very good. Original finish and patina. Fully functional action. Mostly bright bore with strong rifling. The wood is in very good shape with a stable split at the tip of the forend. A fascinating lever action rifle that went head to head with the likes of Winchester for the repeating rifle market!
