Manufacturing details of the Bullard Repeating Arms Lever Action
by Scott Crawford - July 26, 2021 with input from Scott Jamieson
- The distinctive Bullard rifles are desirable on the collector market today due to their limited production of 2,800 rifles (1700 large frame repeaters; 500 small frame repeaters and 600 singles shot rifles) from 1883 to 1890.
- Available from: 1883 to 1890
- Cartridges:.32-40-150, .38-45-190, .40-70-232, .40-75-258, .40-90-300, .45-85-290 and the .50-115-300
- Notes: The Bullard Repeating Arms Company attempted to compete for sales against the likes of Winchester, Marlin, and Whitney. The fierce competition stymied their sales and profits and thus halted the manufacture of these formidable lever actions after just a few years, despite their smooth and fast actions and quality craftsmanship.
