You are right Marlinguy. My Grand Daughter shot it till we ran out of ammo. I have many single shot rifles and this one would probably be the last to go. I love it.

Vall, good to see you back. My very very first Fire Arm was a 20 Gauge Rem rolling block that I earned cleaning out a 100 foot long Hen House that had nearly 18 Inches of manure built up in it. It was complete and as far as I could tell all original. I used it for two years as a Bird gun, must have been a full choke as I took down a number of birds flying very high with light shot size 7 1/2 I think.
Good early memories. FITZ OLD TUCK Smiley

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Thanks Fitz!
My first Rolling Block was an Argentine military in .43 Spanish I found on the local Nickle Ads for $15. I shot it very little as I was just out of high school, and didn't reload yet. So I only shot it with whatever military surplus ammo I could find.
