I found some nice parts and pieces for several projects at the Tulsa show today. I didnt buy any complete firearms, but found a nice Ballard for my friend Jake. It’s a uniform brown, 32 Long caliber, needs nothing more than a good cleanup and a liner. It’s a twin to the first one I bought 5 years ago. While not Jake’s first single shot, it’s his first Ballard and a great deal at $500. He now calls be his enabler, as not only did I tell him about the rifle, I offered to loan him cash to make the purchase. 
He promised he won’t rat me out to his bride Veronica.
