This video explores the Evans New Model Carbine, a lever-action rifle developed in 1873 by Warren Evans. It highlights the carbine's innovative large helical magazine, initially holding 34 rounds of proprietary .44 caliber ammunition, and later revised models holding 28 rounds. The description notes its historical popularity, production numbers between 1874 and 1879, and endorsements from figures like Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill Cody. Despite being tested and rejected by the US Army due to loading and dust issues, it saw international sales.
