Did John Wills build a different rifle for himself? If so, would you post photos of it? Knowing John's work, I am sure it is well worth showing off!
John still has his barrel but has not built his rifle yet. After watching me go from an offhand rifle back to a bench rest breech-seating rifle he may still be trying to figure out what he wants to do. I should also say that if I were to to this project over I would not use a Ballard. I think there is no better rifle for making a breech-seating rifle out of but this small case with a big bullet MAY run the pressure up around the limits of a Ballard. If I was back at square one I would use a High-Wall or Borchardt.
About the same time we both got interested in .22's and he built this using an original action.
