Nice one soonerfan. Does your brother still have your 30-30? Maybe you could do a trade o get it back.
Yeah he still has it. Truth is I kinda like this one better as it has a darker non glossy finish. Plus I've got an old Winchester in 30-30.Nice one soonerfan. Does your brother still have your 30-30? Maybe you could do a trade o get it back.
Ops...I didn't post the "full" pics.. I went with a tube mount from Uncle Mike'sThe_Next_Generation said:MikePaiN - If you look at the picture I posted, there is a sling mount that attaches to the magazine tube.
You could also try a barrel-band sling mount (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/895...emington-1894c).
Mike, the only way you can get thrown out of this club is to repeatedly bad mouth them.just hope it doesn't get me thrown out of The 336 Club...
The 336 is the AK-47 of the United States. There aren't many folks in my area who don't have one, they seem to be a really popular truck gun. My 30AS was my first firearm, my dad facilitated the purchase and I worked/paid it off over a period of time. It was the most expensive thing I'd ever owned. The action on mine is silkier than any of the others I've come across. I'll never part with it as 30-30 ammo is almost always readily available and very formidable.
Forumsurfer; beautiful rifle, what did you refinish it with? My stocks are in serious need of a refinish, whatever the manufacturer used on my stock is junk and peeling like yours.
On the first attempt I striped and sanded, then stained with a dark Minwax. That's when I realized how bad it was going to look and how crappy the wood is. I primed and painted over with a pine green, the pine didn't do it for me, so I more or less tested by rattle can spraying it a hunter green...The final decision was made to do it right in OD Green(FDE was also on the table but I went with the Green). The stocks were completely stripped and sanded. I used Rust-Oleum Camo paints, primed with two coats, five color coats and two final coats of matte clear.ForumSurfer said:What did you refinish with? If mine hadn't came out decent, it was going to be sanded smooth and get a coat of magpul FDE
As you'll see, we're not too stuck on 'traditional' around here.I know its not the traditional look for a lever gun...
Two coats of minwax walnut and three quotes of minwax golden oak. The dark helped hide the discolored wood (even after sanding) and the oak brought out the lighter grain. It sort of shifts from dark to light as the sun hits it. I'm satisfied.
