I was just up home shooting with my brother. We had an 1884 Trapdoor Springfield and an old 45-70 lever gun he had. A little research tells me it is the subject rifle, AKA Whitney-Burgess-Morse rifle. Sorry, I didn't take pictures. Can anyone share some knowledge about the Burgess rifle? I know Colt used the toggle action for a 44-40 competitor to the Winchester 1873, but this one is different. Supposedly only 2,000 were made. Good shooter, by the way.
