What's a good caliber for one of these? http://www.wildwestguns.com/Bushwacker/bushwacker.html
These guys are making them in pretty hefty packages, but I've got a .30-30 and I wonder if maybe it could be cut down.
So #1 can you cut down the barrel and magazine of a lever-rifle and how involved is it. And #2 how would .30-30 perform as such? Would it be too uncomfortable, and if so what if one downloaded the cartridges with powder more appropriate for that barrel length.
P.S. What would happen if you used pistol powder to achieve the same velocity you got with rifle powder from the short barrel?
