Hayes was 5'10" and weighed 145 pounds. This rifle is just shy of 16 pounds. He was a strong guy!

He would have to hook that thing underneath his arm pit and tie some sandbags to his rear to keep from tipping forward...

It is a neat rifle. Some detail photos would be nice to go with this.
And, Joe, no wonder it appeals to you since it's sporting a palm rest sort of like the one you had reproduced a while back. He sure was a tough fellow to shoot that one standing upright, with a tummy full of Wheaties.

Ballards may be weaker,
but they sure are neater!

Will Hayes was one of the winningest shooters in his time, and he had numerous rifles built or barreled by Schalk. The two were the first to collaborate on a false muzzle barrel for cartridge rifles, and Schalk really didn't want to build the barrel Hayes wanted, but it turned out to be a huge success.
