Cimarron 1883 Burgess Carbine Rifle 44-40 20" Rnd Barrel Blue Steel Frame Standard Blue Finish Walnut Stock CA2621

Manufactured from 1883 to 1885, the Burgess rifle and carbine were Colt’s answer to Winchester’s popular lever-action rifle. It was such a formidable business threat that Winchester turned its attention to pistol production. To prevent disaster, high-level politicians stepped in and put pressure on both companies. Folklore says it was one of the first big back-room deals between large gun companies. By the time an agreement was reached and production stopped, Colt had produced 6,400 Burgess lever actions.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 44-40 Winchester (44 WCF) was introduced by Winchester in 1873 in their Model 1873 lever action. The '73, "the gun that won the West," was the first truly successful repeater, and its 44-40 cartridge was quickly adopted by other manufacturers, including both Colt and Smith & Wesson in revolvers. Using a .427-inch bullet, the standard load features a 200-grain bullet at about 1100 feet per second, producing 588 foot-pounds of energy. This is not a lot of power, but the 44-40 was probaby the most popular sporting cartridge of the 19th Century, accounting for untold amounts of game. It remained the most popular chambering in the 1892 Winchester, and was a common chambering in both rifles and handguns at least through the 1940s. The growth in Cowboy Action shooting has revived it; the 44-40 has less recoil than the 45 Colt, and serves as a common chambering for rifles and revolvers. Ammo is readily available and it is chambered to numerous reissues and reproductions. — Craig Boddington
