I'm thinking you are asking about his invention? In Nov 1853, Ambrose Burnside resigned his commission in the U.S. Army and organized Bristol Rifle Works in order to manufacture his invention, the Burnside carbine.
In case you were asking for things he's known for other than the Burnside carbine - he was an apprentice tailor, partner in a tailoring business, railroad executive, industrialist, first president of the National Rifle Association, Commander in chielf of the GAR, Governor of Rhode Island, and a US Senator.
