Jim,
I swung by your old shop back in November. Boy, was I bummed out that it is gone. For those of you that never got to set foot in Muzzleloaders Ect. You really missed out. Jim always had something lurking in that shop somewhere. I learned a lot there, and I do miss my stops at your place when I pass through from Iowa.
I think I have handled or seen almost everything on that webpage, and if I were a betting man, I would wager a large amount that my bullets have slid down the bore of that Rigby Ballard. Still one of my all time favorite rifles. Those trapdoors do grow on me some though.
Keep the pictures of that rifle coming.
Brent
