	I was painting the office this past weekend and had to empty out the safe to move it away from the wall. Before I put everything away I took a quick photo of my three Ballard rifles. From top to bottom ... 1) No. 6-1/2 Rigby Offhand - 28" barrel with Rigby flats; .40-65 Everlasting 2) No. 3F Gallery Rifle - 30" octagonal barrel by Schoyen; .22LR 3) No. 6-1/2 custom Ballard - 28" round barrel by A. W. Peterson; .22 LR

	Joe Do... Wow! What a fine bunch of Ballards. I am a big fan of Ballard engraving. Thanks for posting. Would you consider posting some close-ups of the engraving on your Ballards? Regards Powderman

	Joe that poor ole Ballard looks so embarrassed to have that lazer/light mounted on her. You don't leave it on her all the time do you?
