Description:

This is one of just 4,000 New Model carbines manufactured by Evans Repeating Rifle Co. from 1877-1879. These carbines are easily distinguished from the earlier models by the dust cover on the right side of the action. The top of the barrel is marked "EVANS REPEATING RIFLE MECHANIC FALLS, ME. PAT. DEC. 8, 1868 & SEPT. 16, 1871" ahead of the rear sight. It has a fixed "pinched" blade front sight and stepped military rear sight. The forearm is attached by a single barrel band, and the buttstock pieces are attached to the casehardened buttplate and an iron ring around the center of the magazine tube. Sling swivels are on the bottom of the butt and the barrel band. No serial number is visible. The Evan's repeaters boasted the greatest capacity of any production model lever action produced in the U.S. at 28 to 34 rounds!

Rating Definition:

Fine. 70% plus of the original blue finish remains along with strong case colors on the buttplate and traces on the lever and barrel band. The balance is a brown patina. There are light scratches and marks along with patches of minor oxidation. The left side of receiver exhibits several dents mostly on lower half. The wood is good with moderate wear from use including numerous mild dents. There are a couple of bands of what appears to be tape residue on rear stock pieces. Overall the carbine shows a lot of character typical of a gun that saw use on the Western Frontier. The action functions fine. The magazine functionality was not tested, but it appears complete. This is a very good example of a rare repeating rifle.
