What is this?

[shelby78]

I know i've seen this before but have no idea what it is. Any help? And no it is not me holding it as i would not let myself go like that!

it is a very early Ballard rifle and the piece under the forestock moves the extractor back unless I am mistaken. What caliber is it and how is the bore

cheers mooncoon
