I just got a Ballard in .22lr with a 30 inch barrel and a cast action.I was told it was made by a maker named Stege. I've never heard of him. Anyone have any knowledge of him or his work?

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Steve is a pretty common name. Not enough to really help determine a maker. Which of the names you've mentioned is correct? Steve, Stege, or Steger?

F***ing auto correct. The makers name I was given was Stege. Hope that clarifies. No markings on the rifle.

Bill Steage from Wi. He was actually pictured on the cover of American Riflemen in Jan. 1941 He was a gunsmith and made barrels. He lived in New London, Northport, and Omro Wi. He actually was a member of the Black Wolf Schuetzen club in Van Dyne Wi.
