It is a wrist-slide action that works by pulling the grip rearward when fired to eject the shell and load a new one...

I have owned one Burgess (non-folding), and looked at a number of others over the years. Yours is as nice as any I have seen and the folding feature makes it even cooler. Currently I'm considering restoring a Model 1901 Winchester lever action shotgun. I read somewhere that Winchester built some 50-110 rifles on the 1901 action. Any thoughts on whether the action would stand up to that round? Maybe I could rifle the barrel and shoot 10 Ga. slugs--how about that for a "stopping rifle"?

actually Winchester built some [ a few ] model 1887s [ predecessor to 1901 ] with rifled barrel in .75 caliber, with maybe 150 gr of powder and a huge lead bullet....cartridges have survived and it was shown on their cartridge boards. it is written up in Cartridges of the World
would be an interesting build on the 1901 shotgun. I have very nice 1901 [ have had several at times ] and it is a slick impressively smooth gun.
with a rifled barrel like you said, it would stop about anything !

The biggest problem would be the rotating action and how strong it would be. They aren't real reliable in the extraction dept. either. Cycling the cartridge out of the magazine and into the chamber would be an interesting feat as well. The action rotating like it does, will be the biggest obstacle in making something like that work, as the length of the cartridge would be the determining factor as to whether or not it would feed and extract.
