VERY FINE CONDITION BALLARD No. 5 PACIFIC MODEL IN DESIRABLE .45-70 CALIBER,
Description: VERY FINE CONDITION BALLARD No. 5 PACIFIC MODEL IN DESIRABLE .45-70 CALIBER, #20XXX, MADE EARLY 1880s. This is a Marlin Firearms marked rifle. These were marked this way from 1881-1891 with serial numbers starting around 17000 and ending around 40000. The barrel is correctly stamped "45 Govt" with the correct Marlin markings on the side of the receiver. Importantly, the barrel and forend numbers match with the receiver. The receiver sides and octagon top retain fine light case color that is fading, but still very visible. There is also some color on the bottom by the serial number and on top behind the hammer. It is rare to find any case color remaining on these large caliber frontier rifles. The 30" octagon barrel also shows fine deep blue with some normal age dulling. Buckhorn rear sight only needs the elevator bar. Front sight is a correct Rocky Mountain blade. Fine wood has not been sanded or re-finished and shows the usual barely visible hairling cracks coming back from the receiver for an inch or so- you have to look carefully to see this. The forend shows only normal handling with the beginnings of a crack on the top left front that comes back for a couple inches or so- minor. Has the brass tipped and ended wiping rod held with two thimbles under the barrel, double set triggers function correctly and have the adjustment screw intact. Strong safety half-cock and fairly bright excellent bore with strong rifling all the way through! These .45-70 Pacific rifles almost universally went West and saw hard use. Very hard to find one this fine. SOLD Antique: Yes Rifle Caliber: .45-70 Government Manufacturer: MARLIN Model: BALLARD No5 Serial Number: 20XXX Barrel Length: 30" OCT. Condition: FINE+ Bore Condition: EXCELLENT |
