I can’t believe how much I like shooting this deal.

Any advice out there?

What is wrong with the stock? If it is original then leave it as is. If it has been "sporterized" then get ahold of the CMP and see if they have a stock. Murray Gunstocks also make them.

ooops!You're right, my bad. In that case, I believe the answer would be NO! The 30-40 is a longer cartridge.
