I attempted to edit my post but the time limit had exspired.
I wanted to add the serial number from Dads Drilling. sn34898. This one will have barrels 1" shorter than John Barsness Drilling and an intersting story to go along with it. If any one happens to run across this Charles Daly 12 X 12 X .38-55 I'd like to hear from them.
I also wanted to add that a 34.1 grain load of Alliant Reloder 15 will push a Harnady 170 grain bullet 2,076 fps in my 16" Winchester Trapper. The same loads pushes this bullet 2,221fps from the 20" Model 94AE. The 26" barrel Model 94 gets 2,382 fps from this load. The hunter armed with a 26" barrel .30-30 has a very interesting rifle to play with and need not feel he is seriously outperformed by the 20" .30-30AI or .307..
