New family member came home with me from Colorado.  From the Joe Ruth collection.

25-25 Stevens.  Now off to find brass.

Be nice to know what those five pins represent.

A look at my new acquisition compared to the custom #7 I built.

The gun I built is sitting in front of the original, so the perspective is off, making the custom gun look longer and larger, when in fact it is not.

What a nice pair of 7s! Your talent is amazing and your new old addition is super too! I like your wood thicker through the wrist area that you did as I would think it would be less prone to break. The originals look to be easy to break.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

What gorgeous little rifles!
Have you weighed the new 25-25? I'm curious.

As shown the original weighs 7 pounds 4 oz. 
My build is 5 pounds 7 oz.

The more I looked at the comparison pictures, the more the perspective bothers me!  Had to compare the two again.  Length of pull is the same and the barrel on my build is a 1/2 inch longer, frame sizes appear identical.  The grip area is, in reality, larger on my build.  The way a picture is taken can really mess with reality.

Thanks for weighing the rifle, Bob!

That sure is light enough for a carry around one, to take offhand potshots at rabbits, and the like.
