I knew a fellow who was the preeminent Bullard collector in the US. He showed me his collection. He owned about a dozen. His name was Bud Estes of Bucklin, Kansas. He has been gone for a decade or so. I have no idea what happened to his Bullards. His family is still in Bucklin and you may be able to contact them. They own the John Deere dealorship there. Bullards were known to be better than Winchester 73s. They had their own unique calibers. I remember when Bud asked me if I knew about Bullards. I replied, You mean Ballards?
