Rory, not arguing, but I an had an 1896 Mauser Broomhandle, model 30 commercial, in 30 Mauser that was sleeved. That's a pretty hot bottle neck case. I only ran a couple boxes of shells through it, but it shot very well. That's not saying the next guy that wound up with it didn't have the sleeve come flying out. Anyway, I've often thought of asking the same question on some of the old 32-40's and 38-55's. So you answered my question too, Joe.


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
