The Ballard Rifle Company is in Wyoming, now. They are made currently to the original drawings. Very high priced. They are not a strong action even with modern materials. Black powder cartridges prevail. Google up Ballard rifles and you'll get the site.

I think the 1885 is their copy of the Winchester hiwall single shot. It is plenty strong as they chamber for everything including big magnums.
