Burgess Folding Shotgun
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.
