c1877 mfr Antique EVANS “NEW MODEL” .44 Lever Action Rifle Octagonal Barrel SCARCE Maine Manufactured 28-Round Repeater
Description: c1877 mfr Antique EVANS “NEW MODEL” .44 Lever Action Rifle Octagonal Barrel SCARCE Maine Manufactured 28-Round Repeater Here we present an antique Evans New Model Rifle produced by the Evans Repeating Rifle Company of 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 1877 and 1879, with a total of 12,200 Evans rifles and carbines made. 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 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 good. Patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition. Mostly reflective with good rifling. The lever shows some stress cracking at the front and middle curve, possibly from period repairs. The stock shows much use and weathering with some slivering on the left side of the fore end and some loss at the heel of the butt stock. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: .44 Evans Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE.
