Ron, I never saw you with the rifle any of the matches.  Give my Regards to all that shoot at them.  I'll make it down one of these days for the indoors shoots if they are still being held.  I'll bring the 22LR Lady's model Wurfflein that is pictured in Grant's book that I bought from Quinlan

RonJon,

Wow, beautiful rifle that you have there. It must be a special experience to fire such a piece of history.

Johnboy, Thank you for the article.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

That's one of the best written articles on gun makers I've seen! The Wurffleins made some wonderful guns, and the USA benefitted from so many fine gunsmiths leaving Germany and other countries to become US citizens!

That's a gorgeous rifle RonJon!
