Marlin started manufacturing the Ballard rifle in 1875, it remained in production until about 1890. The straight stock/forearm appear original & are in fair condition. Buttstock is slightly loose to receiver & has a 3'' hairline crack on each of side emanating from receiver. There are chips in bottom of stock at receiver, more smaller hairline cracks & a gouge on right wrist.
