Stumbled into this sweetheart out of the blue. It's a Marlin Ballard No. 1 1/2 Hunter's rifle in .40/70-.40/63 Ballard Everlasting. Make the cases simply by trimming .405 Winchester brass to .438 inches. Bore is worn, but not pitted, so have high hopes she will shoot once I can afford a Montana Vintage Arms Vernier tang sight. The guy most responsible for my love of Ballards would be the great Ned Roberts, who was so fond of these rifles.   There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | ||

D'oh. 2.38 inches. How did I mess that up? Sucks to grow old.  There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
