Brent - thanks for the clarification. At least I know.

However, I notice some poster's images appear within their post. Yet, I post a link that must be clicked on. I find the former preferable. I use Imgur as an outside photo hosting site. Perhaps Imgur isn't set up for this?

Yes, you have a good eye. There's lots of gun guys out there who have never heard of a Bullard. Over the years, I have talked with countless gun guys who, when the topic of a Bullard comes up, have corrected me and suggested I was mistaken, "Oh, you mean Ballard." This one is a .45-70 (or .45-85 Bullard). It is marked Cal. 45 and the case of the .45-70 and the .45-85 are the same.
The Bullard's are interesting as they are bottom loading and the action must be open to load the rifle.
This one is in very high condition with a mint bore.
I've taken it to the range several times.
Probably the most remarkable thing about the Bullard is the smooth as glass action. In my opinion, the action most closely resembles the modern Browning BLR rifle with it's rack and pinion action.

Thanks for the Bullard lever rifle pictures Boltman. Smooth as glass is an amazing thing to experience on a hundred thirty year old rifle.

I miss understood your question. My apologies for that.

I also use imgur for posting photos here.

1. Start a message here.
2. In a new tab, click on the photo I'm imgur that you wish to display.
3. On the right hand side there will be a list of different way to refer to that photo. Just above the bottom of that list will be one that begins as [img].... click on the copy button next to this.
4. return to the tab with the post you are creating.
5. Move the cursor down to where you want the photo to appear.
6. Right click and choose paste.
The code for the photo, but not the photo itself should appear.
7. Finish the post you are creating and click submit.

This will almost always work. But there is one instance in which imgur will fail. If that happens, leave your post up as it is and I will show you how to fix it. I'm using a phone and it is sort of a pain to type a lengthy description of it.

Thanks to Fred and Brent for the photo instruction. Also, thanks for the comments on the Bullard. I love this topic! I think it is sorely needed given the cancellation of gun shows. Looking at the initial photos on this thread, I am reminded I need to take some photos of my Ross left-hand conversion done by Woodward on an M-10.

Here is my .375 H&H Magnum built on a military Mauser action. Jeffery style stock. One of the aspects I like about this rifle was the meticulous action work that was done to make it fit and feed the .375 H&H cases like butter. Dennis Olson out of Montana did the action work many years ago.

John Wright worked for Hoffman Arms in Cleveland.

If you use Imgur, it's even easier to insert a link than most other sites, and it is set up to do so. Simply open your account at Imgur, and then click on the image you want to post. On the right side you'll see various image links. Choose the "BBCode" one. Go down to the bottom and click on the "size chart". I usually use "medium" or "large". Then once you click the size then click on the "copy" by BBCode.
Now come to the site and make your usual post. When you want to insert the picture just hold your "ctrl" key down, while you tap the "v" key, and the image link will insert into your post.
It's that simple. You can keep the Imgur tab open while you're posting, and go back and capture as many images as you want to insert.

This is the "large" size image:



And the "medium":

Vall, is that a cast action? What caliber?
