Ballard Envy

This is not my rifle, but a nice old Ballard Pacific. Appears to have been more abused than used. Very tight and all the numbers match. Bore was about a 5 out of 10 and would group about six inches at 100 yards. Usual debate, reline, rebarrel, etc. Debate ended when a brand new Ron Long barrel was located. The original barrel will stay with the rifle.

What caliber is the old and new barrel. 

Where on earth did he find a new or even used RL barrel? I'd LOVE to have one for my Pacific.

Pardon a new guy's question, but why does it have a set of open sights on top of the scope?

Chuck,

Nice old Ballard! I feel the envy.

Why am I suddenly wondering just when see-through scope mounts were invented?     Wink

Old barrel was 38-55, new barrel is 32-40. Barrel was unthreaded,about #3 weight, octagon. Nice narrow land eight groove 1:16 barrel. 
Quote the Owner,"I bet there is a lot of good stuff that was picked up and squirrelled away for future projects that they just didn't get around to, that's how I got this barrel." Of course this does not apply to any of us Wink.

Walter, Sorry about the picture arrangement. Never even thought about it.
Chuck
