The Blake Repeating Rifle, designed by John Blake, was an innovative contender in the 1892 US Army rifle trials, ultimately losing to the Krag-Jorgensen. Its unique 7-round packet magazine, which functioned like a revolver cylinder, was praised for its potential with varying cartridge lengths but criticized for being bulky and slow to load in field conditions. The rifle featured a robust bolt with four locking lugs and safety features like gas ports, and was later produced commercially in various calibers.
