Between the cost of making a reproduction like this, not so easy access to patents of that kind (there's a whole procedure you'd have to go through first), different measurements that Burgess used back in the era (measurements change over time, they are not constant...Only have to look at the kg for evidence of change there), laws pertaining to gun lengths and finally the scarcity of surviving examples you'd have a hard time.

[@ScottKenny1978]

@@MegaRazorback not so much the patents, they expired about 1910. And the measurements will be in inches. The problem would be getting one to work as your prototype, and then making the production tooling. I expect that a modern reproduction would cost about $5000. Yes, really. Lots of machine time involved in those old guns. And you'd have to pray that ATF didn't lose their shit and declare it a Destructive Device, making your paperwork burden a hell of a lot higher and slowing delivery to a crawl.

As a brit the notion of even personally owning so much as a handgun is sadly far out of reach. But I like to dream.

[@CKinnerley]

Yeah I'll just drop my military career and move shop to the states... if only reality were so simple... Handguns are just straight up banned for civiliand here. There are a *tiny* number of obsolete calibre revolvers and the like kept at gun clubs, but that's it. Maybe that's where the story came from, but the only 'pistols' we can have legally are in .22rf with incredibly long barrels and permanently attached stocks; you need to jump through a lot of hoops and prove to the police that you're a long standing member of a sport shooting club just to get the certificate to own one of those and they cost far more than a normal handgun would in America.

[@DFX2KX]

REMF Tacticool There's always the PA Luty approach, but, then you've got to go out into the woods and hope you don't get caught with it. Upside to that, you own a SMG, and it costs a whopping $50.... Or you could move to North Ireland, last I heard, the gun laws where more reasonable there.

[@CKinnerley]

There's some pistol ownership I believe and some of the channel islands allow pistols and 5.56 semi ARs etc but again, kinda need to pay the bills. Rather serve my time then look at moving to the states afterwards and hope my credentials are good enough to get some sort of job in the industry.

0:17 is the last thing a man sees when he forgets a weapon

[@andros800]

After rewatching this because of your Q&A, this action could be quite popular on today's market. however, I think that to make it more palatable to modern enthusiasts, the changes needed to be made would probably be to make it into and market it as a "survival" shotgun. furniture would probably need to be changed to something more modern and the locking mechanism would also need to change. however, the action lends itself well to that purpose, I think, which is very desirable in today's market and would certainly be easy to sell as such because of how well it keeps out filth from the action and magazine. Winchester may yet hold the patent on this design, and are losing out on massive sales for the growing market for takedown rifles and shotguns.

I can't take your comment seriously, the King of Internet Trolls' face is too distracting.

Patent has long since expired. Expired over a hundred years ago. I want one of these!

For every gun Ian touches, it's value increases.

GLOOMWOOD

[@Jackedhobbit]

Very possibly the absolute coolest shotgun I’ve ever seen. I love this thing. Thank you Ian.

Do my eyes deceive me?

[@tooFarGonexk4he4tu3s]

This video made me feel the same thing as the one on Boberg pistols. That is, "Wow, this looks like an extravagant movie prop that is somehow also a slick and practical firearm design. Such a shame it never got popular"

[@exploitativity]

This looks like that weird break action pump shotgun in Gloomwood.

[@johnathan5252]

exploitativity yea its exactly what its based off
