	I know that I am risking taking 10 years off my lifespan by selling a Ballard, but I figure DST high Walls add 10 years just like Ballards do, so I am covered. I am thinning out my rimfire riles since I rarely shoot them. This rifle has a relined bore in good condition. Bright and shiny with strong rifling. The front sight is not original. It has an original Ballard tang sight The stocks are in great condition with no cracks that I can detect. As shown the stock colors are not a match. Asking $1025 plus actual shipping and insurance costs which should be around $40. Here is how I am going to handle inquiries. If you have any questions or want to make an offer, post a reply saying PM sent and I will answer any questions before considering any other PMs. Thanks Jack

	I do Jack, but when you're feeding another family member's addiction they can't wait around very long. My brother asked once if I'd consider building him one, I told him the wait would probably be 5-10 years He was threatening a disappearing act with MY #3... GT

Thx The Ballard #3 Gallery model were all cast actions like the #2 Sporting Rifles. They shot .22 Long or Short rimfire. I have a friend who owns an original #3 in .22WCF which has to be ultra rare as it wasn't offered in catalogs, but I have heard of them being made. Never seen another one.

	Gave me? It was part of the trade of our 33 caliber barrels. You got a perfect bore and I got. Well I got what I got . You probably like chopped liver. Not me.

	Jack, I'm willing to let bygones be bygones once you send me a hundred .33 bullets out of your Hoch mold. 30-1 preferably. That's 30-1 pure lead and tin alloy. And don't send me a bunch of Bob Zs old .33 bullets. I will know the difference.
