"...also to reload..." It's a piece of cake to reload. The problem is the lack of suitable bullet weights and limited velocities. You get a choice of 110 grain FMJ's, HP's, SP's and now a V-max. 125's and 130 can go into it, but you're pushing the COL.
"...a modern 'tacticool' stock..." There are lots of repro's of the folding parastock and modern synthetic stocks available. Some are better than others.
The whole issue is the internet inspired perception that the .30 carbine isn't powerful enough. The nonsense about it not penetrating Chicom quilted jackets.
"...15.5 grains of 4227..." That's half a grain over max for a carbine.
