Our monthly collector gun show was today, and the theme was "Interesting Rimfires". Since the Ballard #2 had the reversible firing pin to shoot some calibers in RF and CF, I did a display of my #2 Marlin Ballard rifles.
All various caliber #2, and some with special features:
Top is a #2 in .38 Long with set triggers, and vernier tang sight. Combination front sight. Bottom is another in .44 Long with full length scope in Malcolm mounts.:
Center is a #2 in .32 Long with standard features. Early JM Marlin ring lever, and Gallery midrange tang sight:
Top #2 in .32-20 with special order presentation grade, checkered wood, with cheekpiece, and shotgun buttplate. Rare longrange gallery tang sight, and globe front sight.
Below #2 in .32 Long with numerous special order features. Nickeled, pistol gripped receiver, and loop lever. Rosewood stocks, with cheekpiece, Swiss buttplate, checkering, horn tip, 1/2 octagon barrel. Midrange vernier tang sight, and combination front sight.
Yes, I shoot them all. No closet queens here.
