Beautiful work.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Very nice work! A gorgeous Ballard, and made better with the Hubalek barrel on it!

Chuck--The engraving was done by an 84 year old friend.  He doesn't do much anymore, but I can usually talk him into one of my projects.

Thanks, Bruce. The back story on homemade rifles is always interesting.
Congratulations to your very skilled friend. No slouch yourself. Well done.
Chuck

Nice rifle Bruce. You'll have to bring it down next time you come to the valley and we'll go to the farm and put some bullets down range with it.

Wait until this Covid crap is done with and the weather breaks next spring.
