	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.

	Not yet Frank. Auction was yesterday. Jack, if so hoping it has an extractor.

	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

	No .410 with those sights methinks. Mighty handsome rifle whatever it turns out to be. Congrats, Jose'.

	.410 buckshot as a 200yd offhand gun. Would do better that I can with a few dozen single projectiles.

	Any #6 Ballard is always a great addition!

Let's see what that critter Joe bought is- proabably a typo for a .38 in rimfire. Just think of it: a Ron Long in .38rf. gotta be really scarce, huh?

	We maybe should start a pool to guess what cartridge it's chambered for. A $10 entry for one prediction, winner splits the pool with ASSRA. Jack can safely hold the money because I understand he's stocked up now on primers for the season. I'll start it by predicting .357 Maximum (but marked ".36 XXXX" for safety/liability reasons, loads in the 15-20K psi realm for obvious reasons).
