  1. Gunsmithing
    If I used exclusively Hornaday's Lever Revolution ammunition would it be possible to make a 30-30 AR-15? If so, approximately how much would that run me?
  2. Gunsmithing
    Hey I'm a new user and I need some help/advice/knowledge. A few years back my father tried to restore his old model 94, 30-30, post 64 with a new stock, and let's just say he isn't mechanically inclined. It ended up not going back together correctly and in the end lost a few pins and a firing...
  3. Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Scopes
    Hi All-- This is my first post. I purchased a Marlin 30-30 from Cabela's about 5 years ago, and wondering if anyone has mounted a scope and is happy with the choice and size of the scope. I bought a Simmons but it is just too large for this gun. I like compact scope size on my guns. Please reply...
  4. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    Read around a bit, and seems like a good community here, so here 'goes with my first post... Reloading experience so far has been tagging along, so to speak. Got my own setup now, and first off is my 30-30 win for the Model 94. Grabbed some Hornady 150 gr RN, and was planning on starting at...

  6. General Leverguns & Their Cartridges
    I just got my 464 yesterday and after years of wanting a lever action and the better part of 6 months obsessing about them I finally got to get out and put some lead to a target despite the 12+" of snow I had to trudge though every 3-5 shots while trying to get it sighted in - good thing I had...
  7. Winchester 94 Lever Guns
    I have a buddy whos dad owns two model 94s. One is from 1965(serial 28xxxxx) and one from (I'm assuming 1994) serial 60xxxxx. They are both in excellent condition and havent had a large amount of rounds through them. My dilemma is that one is a Model 94 Ranger 100 year version. On the right of...

  9. Black Rifles
    I was reading about the 30-30 cartridge on Wikipedia and noticed that its muzzle energy is roughly equal to the 5.56 NATO at about 1,800 ft*lbs at the muzzle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5.56%C3%9745mm_NATO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30-30_Winchester When people talk about an AR-15 for...
  10. Rifles and Rifle Cartridges
    If you was going to use a 30-30 for Blackbear which over the counter load would you use? I'm thinking 150grn softpoints? Maybe a 170 would be better?
  11. Handloading Procedures & Practices
    I bought some what I thought were 170 gr. .308 lead flat nose gc bullets from a private party over the internet. The bullets look flawless and I really wanted this load for my 30-30 for some hog work. But after loading some rounds, I tried to cycle them through the action. The bullets press...

  14. General Leverguns & Their Cartridges
    Since the early 1970's, I've tried just about every brand and bullet weight in our 30-30 carbines. Had great luck with performance of Winchester 170 grain Power Point. But never hunted with this unique hollow tip ammo by Remington. Have you ever tried it? Impressions: accuracy, size of wound...
  15. Marlin 336 Lever Guns
    So I'm considering purchasing a 336 in either 30-30 or 35 Remington. I'm not an avid big game hunter or anything but I would like to have a medium power rifle for self defense purposes to go along with my Glock 23. I know 30-30 ammo is EVERYWHERE, but my question is whether or not 35 Remington...
  16. Marlin 336 Lever Guns
    I just bought a used Marlin 336 today and am curious about it's trigger. I've been told "it's just the nature of the beast" but just want to get a little more insight, especially since this forum has a section dedicated to lever guns. The trigger has a little play in it with the action open...
