	I probed that seller on the other Ballard he has listed that is a pieced together gun on a cast frame. From my interaction with him I determined he is a total NUT.

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….. Bob Gordon blew that one up. Told me he was using straight BP in a large BP caliber.

	How desperate does a guy get to save these blown up actions? I'd make them wall art myself.
