Rare **DUAL IGNITION** CIVIL WAR Era Ball & Williams BALLARD Military Rifle .46 Rimfire/Percussion KENTUCKY
Description: **WILL CONSIDER REASONABLE OFFERS ON THIS ONE, GIVE ME A CALL** ***RARE - DUAL IGNITION SYSTEM*** **THIS IS AN ANTIQUE AND CAN SHIP DIRECT TO YOU IF ALLOWED IN YOUR STATE** **SORRY NO SHIPPING TO ALASKA, HAWAII ON THIS ONE, LOWER 48 ONLY IF LEGAL TO SHIP** ***PRICE REDUCED.....NOW ONLY $1,895 PLUS ACTUAL SHIPPING*** Offering an antique that I believe to be a Kentucky Contract Ball & Williams Ballard Infantry Rifle, made in 1864 in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Ballard is an interesting rifle in that it began its career during the American Civil War, when it was produced in relatively small numbers (only about 24,000 from 1862-1873) by five different manufacturers. It was ultimately made a commercial success when made into one of the staples of the Marlin Company. Charles H. Ballard invented the rifle and the famed arms agents Merwin & Bray secured government contracts and lined up the firearms companies to make them. This example is most likely one of only 3,000 that was purchased by the highly contested state of Kentucky during the conflict. This rifle features a long (30 inches), round barrel, chambered for the .46 rimfire cartridge AND .46 caliber Percussion paper cartridge. It also features a spring-loaded manual ejector, the knob of which you can see below the forearm. This rifle, while not being a repeater, was a huge improvement over the muzzle loading rifle-muskets being issued en masse to most soldiers of the war. It was much shorter than the rifle-muskets and used rimfire cartridges, making it faster and more reliable to shoot and handle. In fact, this rifle is only about 8 inches longer than most Civil War carbines. The overall condition is excellent. Original wood stocks are in great shape! The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with strong rifling and some shine. Has original sights This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 30 inches. Serial number of 15826 matches on all parts including the stocks Caliber: .46 Rimfire AND .46 Percussion (DUAL IGNITION) Overall condition as seen in photos. **BUYER PAYS ACTUAL SHIPPING BASED ON LOCATION** SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: Ball & Williams Model: Ballard - Dual Ignition Serial Number: 15826 Barrel Length: 30 Bore: .46 Rimfire & Percussion Condition: Excellent Metal Condition: Very good Wood Condition: Very good Bore Condition: Very Good Action: Ballard Manufacture Date: 1864 |
