	Are the threads on the modern Ballard barrels the same as those on the original Marlin Ballards? Thanks

	If a picture is worth a thousand words, why do we have captions?

	I used a Cody Barrel in 32-40 on my original Ballard action and it indexed perfectly. The photo below are two rifles I finished last winter, the Win. 1885 with a 34” Schoyen barrel and false muzzle. The Ballard on the right is the one I used the Cody barrel on.

Both gorgeous rifles Richard! Very nicely restored!

I was just hoping the thread size and pitch was the same on both. Makes sense that they would be. Thank you for the note and the rifle pic. Beautiful stuff!
