Rooster I'm with J Bar, get a 44-40 and the OP will be fine; may not win any speed rifle contests though. You still have the .45? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I had a Burgess in 45. My problem with it was the firing pin, with its goofy design would bend. Plus it jammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same caliber years ago. Junk. Three trips back. Last trip was one way, got a 66 shipped back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 The biggest problem with the initial run of the Uberti Burgess was the ejector. It is a spring loaded ring surrounding the firing pin. They kept fracturing. Presumably they have fixed that problem. I did a diassembly article for the Chronicle when they first came out but have not messed with one for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LQ Jones Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Found one - thanks for the great leads and help everyone! I want one because they are unique. That's it. And I'm not the fastest shooter anyways. LQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
