Evans Gun Project. Need help!

[Whitney Phil]

Hi All. 

I recently bought a New Model Evans.  It is one of the "Frankenstein" guns made after the original company went bankrupt. Unfortunately, it is missing some pieces: The extractor, the dustcover, the mainspring, and (I am assuming this) some type of arm that rotates the spline and advances the cartridges. This is my first Evans, so I do not even know what these parts are supposed to look like. Would anyone have a schematic or pictures of the action? Possible parts source?  Thank You Phil

Thanks Two Flints, I already found those links and one of them had pics of an evans being disassembled. They are what I really need but none of them will open.  Would anyone have any pics of the innards of this contraption?

Jnz,

Sorry about that!

I'll try to get those links updated.  I was not aware that they had been closed by the original poster.  Sometimes, if you join the Spencer Shooting Society such closed links will mysteriously reopen

I had saved these awhile back - maybe they will be of some assistance. Don't know a thing about the Evans myself though.....
