Do they make XLR 30-30 in an 18 1/2 barrel or even a 20''
The 24'' is a little long.I would like a nice short barrel saddle gun in 30-30 cal. Syn. stock and stainless.

An XLR with a 24" barrel is just a trip to the gunsmith away from being your stainless laminate 18.5" carbine. A cut and recrown is nothing major for a decent 'smith.

dang, you are right! why didn't I think of that,
thank you

lila, I had my Model 94 cut down to 18" and my Marlin .308MX cut down to 20". Re-crowning the barrel often makes a poor shooter a good shooter. I just sent you the saddle photos you requested. Sometime I will photograph the scabbard made by the same saddlemaker. It is fully lined with synthetic sheepswool and fully basket stamped. It's a true work of art.
