	Did it break in half? Holy guacamole! It’s worth more because of the repair? What are they thinking?

	Mold? Here's another Ballard that might have a crack in it. No mold.

Maybe it’s an illusion because of the angle of the photo, but that looks like it was welded together crooked? The back half seems to be going ever so slightly uphill? I’m not sure how much more devastation I can handle in one evening…..

	When I read mold I almost barfed. Talk about a deal killer...

	The bottom view makes it look like it was welded back together with the breech block in place. Well, the wood looks servicable and, if the description if accurate, maybe a good barrel and tang sight. at about 1/3 to 1/2 that price.

	A good wall hanger at 1/4th of what he's asking. I can't believe someone even saved that Rigby? "Set trigger not working"???? Guy doesn't even know it's not a set trigger! I have a bunch of single trigger Ballards that wont set too. Must be a common problem.

	I knew an old gunsmith that used to put M1 Garand actions back together that the Gov had kindly torched in half when they sent them to the dump. When he finished they could not be told from new.

	The description is stupid. Must be the work of AI.

	I remember the infamous Francis boys (Milwaukee area) known for patching things together. They had an interesting 1903 that I was interested in until I looked down the bore and saw half was 2 groove and half 4 groove. Wonder if they ever found a sucker for that one. I sold them a 1862 pocket Colt with the cylinder scene intact but the serial numbers did not match. They gave me good money and after the sale I asked what they were thinking about the mismatch. "We have all the stamps except for the #5 so it will match when we are done with it." And I knew of a gent who freshed up the gain rifling on a Walker and others so Buyer Beware. Charles
