This Burnside 2nd Model is an antique long gun offered used, with a bore the supplier rates very good. The 2nd Model is the version the supplier calls very scarce, and no serial number, barrel length or finish grade appears in the listing, so the bore grade and the model designation are the facts to go on.

This is a collector's rifle rather than a hunting gun, and a buyer should ask for photographs and a description of the metal, wood and markings before ordering, since the listing covers only the bore and the scarcity. Montana rifle hunters have the general season from Oct. 24 to Nov. 29, but a scarce antique belongs in the collection rather than in the field, and the very good bore is the detail that matters most to anyone who intends to shoot it occasionally. The receiving dealer can go over it with you when it arrives.
