Want to buy original Ballard Military Rifle middle barrel band. With or without sling swivel. Would be interested in other Ballard Rifle parts as well. Will trade for cash!

Original Ballard rifle bands are going to be very tough to find. You can get Pewter cast repro bands, that are not too bad, but I doubt you will ever find original bands.

Steve,
Eddie is right, original Ballard bands, or any original Ballard parts are almost impossible to find. If you are fitting up a new forearm, you might try using an artillery model Smith carbine band and fitting the wood to it. They are not identical but most will not know the difference. Best of luck with your search.
