This YouTube video, titled "(RU) Ружье Бёрджесса - Забытое Оружие" which translates to "Burgess Shotgun - Forgotten Weapon," appears to be an in-depth review and historical analysis of the Burgess shotgun. The description encourages viewers to subscribe, comment with future episode requests, and links to a Patreon page and merchandise. An English-language version of the video is also provided. The content focuses on a specific, likely older, firearm, fitting within the "Forgotten Weapons" series known for exploring less common historical firearms.
This video highlights the rare and fascinating Burgess folding shotgun, designed by prolific inventor Andrew Burgess. Due to Spencer's existing forearm pump patent, Burgess ingeniously utilized a sliding sleeve on the stock's wrist as the operating mechanism. The description notes the gun's quality construction and how Winchester's acquisition of the manufacturing company ultimately stifled competition, leading to limited production, especially of the folding variant. The featured example is in excellent condition and includes a period-correct leather belt holster designed for its folded state.
