This model represented only modest changes from the earlier models, most notably being introduction of the 1864 model date, the trigger tang was lengthened and serial numbers reset. Serial numbers were reset to zero and number to about 19000, production estimated 18. This model has been described as 5th model (that is erroneous), or 6th model, however either of these designations are collector terms of convenience and not contemporary designations. The Model of 1864 was the last percussion model produced by Burnside.
