Description:
EXTREMELY RARE COLT BURGESS .44-40 CAL. LEVER ACTION RIFLE WITH ROUND BARREL, SERIAL NUMBER 5XX, ONLY MADE 1883-1885, all of these Colt Burgess .44-40 rifles are difficult to find now as only a total of 6403 OF ALL MODELS were made- 1521 octagon rifles, 35 half oct rifles, 1621 saddle ring carbines, 972 "Baby" saddle ring carbines and only 1219 round barrel rifles- which makes the round barrel rifle actually more rare than the Colt Burgess Saddle Ring Carbine! This is a particularly fine example with even very dark aged blue on the receiver with only a hint of plum mixing, sharp and distinct rampant colt stamping on the left side of the receiver (looks much better than in photo which didn't pick it up well), barrel and mag are also deep aged blue with excellent Colt markings on the barrel top, original sights, correct 25 1/2 inch barrel, fine+ wood showing only normal light wear and handling, correct butt plate with trap for cleaning rods, original buckhorn rear sight with Rocky Mountain blade front, exc. action, fine bore with deep rifling and only minor scattered roughness more toward the middle, great appearance and rarity all rolled into one very historic limited production Colt rifle!
