Red Willow Ballard 22lr

Post by patchbox »

Picked up a Red Willow Ballard a couple of months ago - bought it from the consignment section of Buffalo Arms. Apparently it was a prototype built by Red Willow but Red Willow never went into production on the 22lr Ballard as far as I know. Took it to the range today for the first time and it shot really well - did not make any adjustments to the sights - it has a tang sight and a front blade sight - don't know what it does as far as vertical stringing but was hitting a 1" wide x 6" long steel dinger with consistency. Very pretty little rifle. Does anybody have any information on this little Red Willow Ballard? After I purchased it I have color cased the butt plate, polished and re-blued the screws and re-finished the stock and forend. Great little 22lr single shot.
