A Ballad about a Ballard (Marlin Ballard)

I just finished restoring a Marlin Ballard single shot rifle.

Wrote an article about it here:

Hope you like it!

Pretty darn neat!!!.  I like the video of the sander.  Great job.  I have always wanted a Ballard but never got one.  Now my eyes are so bad I can't shoot long range anymore.  After looking at the photos I may try to get one anyway.

Very nice!  How did you resolve the trigger issue (or did I miss it)?

Beautiful work.  I always love to see an old rifle resurrected.

I updated the post with a bit of info on the trigger work. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

If someone is looking for a Ballard...ready to shoot. This one would be hard to beat!
