Colt-Burgess 1883 Carbine

The 1883 Colt-Burgess was the Colt company's single, brief endeavor to enter the lever action "cowboy" rifle market. Winchester had been making some moves to break into Colt's lucrative shotgun and pistol markets, and Colt reacted by hiring noted gun designer Andrew Burgess to design them a rifle to compete with the Winchester 1873.
Only about 6400 of these were made (in both rifle and carbine configurations) before Colt and Winchester executives got together and negotiated a deal to stay out of each others' areas of specialty. As a result, Colt stopped manufacturing the 1883 Colt-Burgess rifle, and Winchester stopped developing (and importing) revolvers.
Because of its short production span, the Burgess remains a particularly rare lever action rifle today. For folks who are interested in shooting one without investing the money to own and original, reproductions are available today from Uberti.

did he get it backwards a few times? i kept hearing colt would stay out of the pistol market and Winchester would stay out the leaver action market

I’ve had one of those 6400 in my hands. Super smooth old gun. Many lever gun collectors didn’t even know what it was till they got to handle it. I’ve never seen another one. Thanks for the video.

Hugo Borchardt designed a range of revolvers for Winchester. Winchester's decision not to put them into production was one reason Borchardt went home to Germany; to work on his idea for a semi-automatic pistol.

At 5:21 you misspoke when you said Colt and Winchester came to an agreement that Colt would stick to rifles and Winchester would stick to revolvers. Vids are fantastic. I am a huge fan. Just a FYI.

You mentioned Winchester supposedly wanting to import Webley Bulldogs to undercut Colt's revolver sales domestically. That would have been an interesting turn of events, as even though Colt was known for creating one of the earliest, successful mass-produced revolvers, they shut down their plant in Britain after Beaumont-Adams became such a rousing success in Britain and the colonies in the late 1850s and early 1860s. It's arguable that the world capitol of revolver technology was not in Connecticut with Colt, but in London and Birmingham, where Beaumont and Webley were designing revolvers. Great video, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I have recently been watching the old tv series late 50's early 60's "Have Gun Will Travel" via the internet, the star of the series was Richard Boone, in the series he uses a lever action rifle that looks likes a short Winchester lever action rifle, can you tell me anything about the rifle? Also another actor in the show is using a rifle with a longish revolver cylinder for the mag., I would guess it was a Colt revolving rifle, the rifle stock was not removable. Could you tell us about revolving cylinder rifles? Thank you.

Hey Ian, I would like you to consider making a video on the topic of "Lever-action vs Bolt-action". They appeared at roughly the same time, yet no military (except the Russians for cavalry?) adopted a lever action service rifle. You could talk about the pros and cons of both mechanisms.

The wildest thing I'm taking away from this video is the use of CT to abbreviate Connecticut. Into the 80s and even 90s the abbreviation used was Conn. even after the prevalence of the two letter state code Connecticut and Pennsylvania among others were still referred to by their four letter abbreviation. It's weird to see CT used so long ago.

Кольт - Бёрджесс хорошая машинка, но вот патроны можно бы было и помощнее использовать типа .45-70 ;.45-90; .410x50; .410x61; .500-350(450); его система запирания затвора позволяет использовать мощные патроны, чтобы гильза была до 61 мм., чтобы можно было стрелять и дробью, нарезка ствола должна быть полигональная, выброс гильзы, патрона должен быть с правого бока как у Марлина, чтобы можно было посавить оптику, да и окно приёмника патронов лучше на пластинчатой пружине как у винчестера и марлина. Вот тогда я б с удовольствием приобрёл бы себе такую винтовку. Но никто таких винтовок не производит, а жаль.

@Skolot. 7 жыл бұрын

полигональная, выброс гильзы ( патрона ) не вверх, а в право в бок, как у марлина, это даёт возможность использовать оптический прицел, окно снаряжения патронов как у винчестеров- пластинчатая пружина, ну и ещё кое какие доработки по коробке, и будет отличная машинка. Теперь вопрос к спецам знающим отлично английский язык; кто может перевести данный текст о Кольт-Бёрджессе? Будь ласка допоможить перевести.

5:20 I really don't understand why people take such bad views on agreements between companies. Does it result in less options in the consumer market? Yes, yes it does. But I honestly don't see what's so bad about them not fighting in both markets. If they had, there runs a risk of one running the other out of business entirely and then one basically has a monopoly on the firearms industry.

2 points after watching this Ian. You goofed up twice I think. Once saying other than the loading gate there was no difference in the weapon compared to the Winchester when in reality it had a toggle action which was Stronger then the Winchester. And then after that you said the Winchester company went back to making revolvers and the Colt company went back to making rifles. That was just a little dyslexic mistake. But if you do taking the gun apart like you normally to show how things work you would have noticed a big difference inside I believe. The toggle action is pretty interesting. I love catching Ian in a mess up :-) doesn't happen too often. Cuz he usually does his homework
