Ballard Rifle & Cartridge Co. No. 8 Single Shot Falling Block Rifle with Scope

Finish: blue/casehardened
Grip:
Stock: walnut

Serial Number:
Catalog Page: 41
Class: Modern Long Gun
Description:

The barrel has a dovetailed slot for a front sight and is mounted with a custom quarter rib with a R.A. Litschert SPOT-SHOT scope. The frame is a muted casehardened finish with double set triggers and a unique custom 3 finger pope style lever. Mounted on a smooth Schnable tip forearm and custom replacement pistol grip stock with a cheek piece and Swiss style buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall with a 90% of the original finish on the barrel, light handling marks small amounts of spotting and a few areas of lost finish. The wood is very good with some light scratches and indentations on the forearm. The buttstock is not original to the gun. Mechanically very good.
