Cool rifle!
Somebody ordered a 30" barrel, 30-30 for their own reasons.
No other extras like checking, pistol grip, etc.
What would 8 extra inches of barrel do for this rifle?
Might even slow down the bullet, depending on how fast the pressure falls off. One Plus = longer sight radius.
Any sense for how many 30 inch 1899s have been discussed and/or know to have been observed? I searched as far back as the site has data available and only found one that John owned.
