Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Well, I hate to admit it but I do not believe I will be the next owner of this rifle.  We are far apart on the price!  
He really does not know what the rifle is.  The tag is marked Remington Ballard, 50 Sharps.  The bbl is marked 40. 2 1/2.  It is in nice original condition but the bore is shot.  I like to shoot my rifles, so it would have to be lined, more cost!


I see good Hepburns with above average condition, and great bores selling in the $2500-$3000 range. Higher case colors, and barrel blue will drive them up quickly.
I have a friend whose selling a nice Hepburn in .32-20WCF now, and asking $2800. 
I've bought a few for under $2000, but also bought some rare, or high end ones for twice that. Hepburns are always desirable, and sell quickly if they're extremely nice, or have some extra features.

Thank you for the pricing information.  Going by your estimates on prices my offer's are just a little bit low, but his price is at least 20% to high.
But he might have paid to much for it to begin with!
