Another Ballard. Auction said .36 caliber. Most likely an exceedingly rare chambering... Or a typo.

Another great find.  Maybe 36 cal roundball inline muzzle loader.

It appears to be. Replacement stocks also I'm assuming.
Auction stated the barrel is by Ron Long.

We'll see when it gets here. .36 caliber sounds odd. Maybe Jacks right, inline round ball gun. I got a soft spot for oddball orphan Ballards.

The auction says 36 gauge. Maybe that's what it actually is. 36 gauge just happens to be .410.

Might be a 40/63?

Or maybe just a choked smooth bore Wink
