Burgess Shotguns
If you like the odd stuff, and I know you do, you'll like Kirk Stovall's Burgess shotgun.

Re: Burgess Shotguns
What does he mean by "wrist slide action"? I couldn't see how the guns functioned by looking at his pics.

A friend of mine near Wahoo had a couple of Burgess guns and one was a cutaway. The gun pumps by sliding the pistol grip back and forth. Gun Digest in about 1967??? had a real good write up on these. I have handled them and worked them but nrever got to shoot one.

KCSO, Hobie,
Thanks a bunch. Those pics say it all. I learned something today. I've never ever seen one or even a pic of it before. Kinda cool really.

You're welcome Joe. I wish I'd had a chance to handle one, to shoot it would be extra neat, to hunt with one out of this world.
