Never understood why these 1a 30-30s were so slow to sell initially, supposedly many requests were made for this chambering, although there were several (4?) special run editions issued at the same time, so may have flooded the market. I think Lipseys had some of these in stock for a while, although I have no direct knowledge, just memories. Know where a circasion stocked version of the 1a 30-30 is, not for sale, think that guy will ask to be buried with that rifle under his arm when the time comes.
