I don't think people realize how many Colt long guns were made in different variations. Although some are quite rare, Colt certainly had an impact on the Frontier other than just pistols. Here is a display I built to show the Colt guns... ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/xPxj7nh.jpg)

Very nice. I never knew of the Colt Burgess.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Very nice. I never knew of the Colt Burgess. Didn't the Colt Burgess cause a bit of a "Come to Jesus" meeting between Colt and Winchester regarding whom was going to build what? Something on the order of: "You (Colt) keep building those lever action rifles (Burgess) and we'll (Winchester) start making six-shooters." Shrap, where's the Colt Light Rifle?

Somewhere between a Ruger American and a 6.5 Creedmoor...

Were the Colts more expensive, then say a Winchester? , Marlin? During the same time period.

Ultra cool....... So much history all in one place. I knew Colt made shotguns but I've never seen one in person anywhere, ever. Never saw a Burgess either, other than in a picture.

The stuff you can get when shaking down drunk Indians. Hey cuz you got 10 dollars to spare. Shrapnel what's that pistol you got there? Indian bumming cash-Oh this just my great great grandpas pistol from little bighorn( all Indians in Montana think there great great grandpas guns were used at little bighorn) shrapnel -give you $5 for that pistol.. Indian says deal cuz..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
