Marlin Ballard - Single Shot Rifle
Description: This is a scarce Ballard single shot .22 caliber rifle manufactured by the Marlin Firearms Co. is 41.5" long and features a lever actuated falling block action and open sights on a rifled octagon barrel with solid walnut hardwood stocks. The receiver markings are complete and readable: "Marlin Fire Arms Co. New Haven Ct. U.S.A. / Patented February 9, 1875 / Ballard's Patent Nov 5, 1861". . Serial number is 31xxx. Only $950 plus insured shipping. NO FFL Comments on condition: The information stamped on the reciver is completely visisble and readable. The receiver and buttplate retain faint case colors - the barrel bluing shows patina and the finish is almost entirely present. I would rate this antique rifle at 50%. More information follows, all copied directly from the Marlin Firearm ... BALLARD RIFLES John M. Marlin started manufacturing the Ballard rifle in 1875 and it remained in production until about 1890. During the Civil War, the U.S. purchased over 1,000 Ballard carbines. Government tests in 1866 indicated the Ballard could be fired at the rate of 18 times a minute. All Ballards prior to Marlin's production were for use only with rim-fire ammunition. Marlin-manufactured Ballard had both numerical and noun model designations. The numbers used were from 1 to 10, with fractions, such as 1 1/2, to identify some variations. It appears that not long after John Marlin got into full production of the Ballard, different combinations of the available features could be specially ordered. As a result, there are many fine Ballards that do not fit any category, ad description, or model number precisely. Among the various standard models can be found at least four types of barrels, three types of receivers, three different types of extractors, eight different levers, three different triggers, two types of hammers, four different-shaped butt plates, four variations of buttstocks, three types of breech blocks, and numerous types of front and rear sights. The forestocks made by J.M. Marlin and The Marlin Fire Arms Company had a schnabel front end and were of at least three different shapes. Throughout the years of production, Ballard's were available in a wide range of calibers. From the familiar .22 short cartridge to the 50 - 70 Govt., the Ballard could fit any shooting situation.
