F/S. A “switch barrel” Ballard Schuetzen

This rifle is set up for quick change of barrels @ the range requiring only a screw driver & Allen head wrench & plus switching extractors to go from .22 r.f. Barrel to any ? Cal. Center fire barrel in less than 5 minutes ! With the .22 r.f. Barrel here it’s a 27” #4 oct. Win. Barrel,with off center barrel shank.Relined w/ a TJ liner & match chamber w/ std. scope blocks on 8.5 “ centers. It weighs 12 1/2 lbs. As shown. It’s a competative shooter in any r.f. Match w/ good ammo. Any nice c.f. Cal. Barrel can be easily fitted as a quick change #2. Bbl. As the action is a forged frame W/ exc. D.S. Triggers. The stock is decent Euro. Wood by my hand.I much prefer to avoid shipping but I expect to have this rifle @ the ASSRA spring match in Indiana 5/23/26 @$2000-

Possibly a stud for a breech seater.

Jack,

I am familiar with those "studs" for breach seaters..
What I was looking at was the giant brown spot where it looks like a part of the left side of the receiver is missing.....close to the butt stock,,..

Now I have been rightfully accused of seeing something that's not there or NOT seeing what's right in front of me in the past so please feel free to think of me as the crazy guy over in the corner mumbling to himself.

I was wondering what the large brown circle was also. I was wondering if it was an camera abnormality or if the receiver was discolored?

I only had cataract surgery in my right eye.  The left side of things are still a blur.

maybe that spot is a skin graft scar from where they got the material to make up that Ballard/highwall in the auction seen elsewhere lately.
