	The rifle had a radial block receiver similar to the Spencer, but the rounds were fed from a Archimedean-screw magazine which formed the spine of the rifle stock and could hold up to thirty-four rounds. The fluted cartridge carrier made a quarter turn each time the lever was operated, feeding a new cartridge into the breech.

	There were several things that the rifle had against it. The round was unique to the rifle and hard to find. As stated earlier the mechanism of the rifle was not very sturdy and did not do well with such things as dust. Not a good thing in the Wyoming Territory in 1875. The rifle was heavy, the ergonomics are poor, and the rifle is clumsy when moving. Nevertheless the Evans Repeating Rifle has lately become something of a collector's item and prices are going up. Whatever ~~it's~~ faults it's a fascinating part of United States firearms history.		There were several things that the rifle had against it. The round was unique to the rifle and hard to find.
