The Burgess Gun Company made slide action repeating rifles and shotguns from 1892-1899, making far more shotguns than rifles. Their mechanism is somewhat unique with the slide handle being the grip, not the forend. To someone used to a traditional pump-action, this is a little awkward at first, but after some handling it’s not too bad. For someone who had never operated a repeating shotgun of any kind, it likely would have felt just fine. The quality of manufacturing was considered fine, but Winchester didn’t want competitors in the repeating shotgun market and bought out the company in 1899, withdrawing the design from the market and never utilizing it again.
