A deluxe model with a 36 inch barrel... that is just unbelievably rare! And Dick got that Bullard .50-115 too! I am green with envy.

Also, Shrapnel - this is a very fine 1895 as well and I am envious. You're another guy that drives me crazy - that Burgess two-barrel .44/40 set (wrist action pump), the .45/60 Whitney-Kennedy SRC, the Colt Lightning .44/40..., your .44/40 Whitney-Kennedy... man does envy burn like a SOB.


Didn't you have something to do with a Burgess website, or was that someone else?
