From the Vault: Evans Repeating Rifle
This video from Brownells showcases the historical Evans Repeating Rifle, a lever-action firearm invented by Dr. Warren Evans. It highlights the rifle's unique 34-round helical tubular magazine, which runs through the buttstock, and its proprietary .44 Evans cartridge. The rifle, produced between 1873 and 1879, was initially aimed at the military but found its niche in the hunting market. The description notes its appearance in films like "Tombstone" and the video game "Red Dead Redemption." The featured example is in near-pristine condition, displaying vivid case-hardening.
