Thread: Marlin Ballard restoration

So having a quick look through the Ballard bible writtrn by John Dutcher there is an image of a No.4 special order select walnut with the same shotgun butt and very similar grain



And images of Ballard factory original tang sights fir the unique 1.125" hole spacing



After market tang sights for the 1.125" spacing



And the various front sights that were across the model range



So one of my jobs now is to try and find a tang sight for this because i know i can shoot them vastly better than the basic barrel sights
