Evans 1877 New Model .44 Caliber Repeating Carbine - 28 Round Magazine
Description: Invented by Warren R. Evans of Thomaston, Maine production started in 1873 by "Evans Rifle Manufacturing Company of Mechanic Falls, Maine." Only 15,000 Evans firearms were manufactured in a six year period and then the company declared bankruptcy in 1879, a victim of the Post Civil War arms industry glut and stiff competition. The Evans has a rotary magazine in the buttstock. Cartridges are fed to the breech by cycling the cocking lever/trigger guard. The magazine tube of the Evans is much larger than that of the Spencer. It holds four rows of cartridges which are loaded through a trapdoor in the buttplate. Each time the action is cycled, the magazine feeds the next cartridge to the breech in the barber pole fashion. New Model rifle, which fires.44 cartridge called the ".44 New Model", which was 1 1/2 inches long. The magazine capacity is 28 rounds. A dust cover for the ejection port to avoid dirt getting into the magazine.The majority of Evans repeaters produced were of the "New Model", and around 4000 carbines with the 22" round barrel were produced. The barrel on this example is marked: EVANS REPEATING RIFLE. MECHANIC FALLS ME. PAT. DEC.8,1867 & SEPT.16,1871 This carbine is in nice condition, and has been fully cleaned and blued. The action functions, and you can see the rotating magazine through the ejection port. The bore is mirror bright with good rifling. The rear sight is adjustable. SOLD |
