The Burgess Folding Shotgun 

I already did that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bPF4-ReK7AA.html

@@Candrsenal I don't know how I missed that but your tactical prowess makes me smile so thanks for that.

The trick is to be round.

@C&Rsenal I enjoy watching your content. I love it, not for shooting bits as much but I love the background history and all the other things that come along with the age of each particular firearm. I love your show for all of it. Sea Cowboy Mae part was funny. I like how you tell the stories of the people who were making the guns, the comic relief of 'here's gun, here's Mae, let's put these together and see what happens'. Overall, I can't wait to see each new episode you put up and learning something new each day. Thank you, keep on making awesome content.

@@Candrsenal I just watched Ian's video on it again, must have misremembered that one lol

I mean that would have been my response to be fair.

Bully!

@@wesleygay8918 Dammit Ted I was also building the pyramids!

It's a Burgess 12-gauge surprise :P

Ready to spend 5 figures on it?

Jameson Totty nope

I'd pay for a quality reproduction. Italian gun shops get on it!

@@abergethirty Norinco! They did a great job with the Win 97, why not this?

Norinco!

@@mcdoctorglock wow, just carve one out of hot, wet garbage yourself?

@vettelover2009 Rarity increases price, mass production reduces it. I don't see why a company like Pedersoli couldn't sell one somewhere in the $1500-2500 range. The cowboy action guys would love it. Use the same action to make rifles too, and offer composite stock versions as camping/backpack guns to grow the market: when the Brazilians, Turks and Chinese catch on, they'll be $850 guns.

@@jic1 I already want one so bad.

The originals arent that hard to find. I have 1

@@Shadow0fd3ath24 they also cost a small fortune because their all over 100 years old and are historical pieces.

This gun is ahead of folding stock guns

Try watching the Forgotten Weapons video on the Burgess. It sums up the gun quite nicely...

I have spent over 400,000$ on Skyrim so far, and I won't stop with so little spent.

This shotgun. It just works

Same. I figured there weren't really any guns other than the Burgess that *needed* their holster.

Winchester bought them out then shut them down

That top of its potential for cowboy action and Teddy Roosevelt enthusiasts and even just as one of the first modern tactical shotguns are why this is in desperate need of a repro

In reality, what is the practical benefit of it over a shotgun sling over your shoulder? Is the ability to quick draw it really important there? Seems like a very niche thing. And that comes at a cost, it was only practical because the entire action was in the back half of the gun, which isn’t as good as a standard pump action (hence why it is the standard). It would be much harder to do with a standard pump action even today and would have a lot of added complexity and risk of failure.

@@88porpoise practical? Dude it just looks super fun!

vlaricshard2 Novelty that wears off after a few magazines isn’t going to keep an assembly line busy.

I wish someone would make a reproduction. Originals are very hard to find and obscenely expensive when you do. I bet it would sell like hotcakes.

Dude, I can't wait to lights, camera, action this gun!

Thanks Mae we love you

Of all the guns people want reproduced, this one's probably the most realistic. I could see it being quite practical for the modern shooter.

@@thegoldencaulk2742 Need is the mother of invention, and I can see more of a need these days for a folding shotgun than when this was invented. No need to hide your shotgun back when times were far easier, and carrying a shotgun while in the woods was an everyday thing. Now there is a need for such a capability.

James deGuzman Uberti with a one to one reproduction in modern shell sizes.

I'd be willing to pay up to $2000 for one.

It's a weird slide action. When this was invented, the pump handle as foregrip was patented, so he had to do something else. So the slide is on the wrist of the stock. Coincidentally, this makes it very easy to make a folding gun that you can almost ready one handed.

make it a lever action and give it a looping handle😎

I don't think it would be too complicated, the action it went with was mainly to avoid a patent.

It was created when the pump action was still under patent. It is unsurprising this got dropped...

Winchester bought it to keep it off the market.
