Looking for a shooter, not collector.
Scratches or worn metal ok, pitted rust not ok.
Don’t want to have to baby it. Just passed on one for $400 due to pitting.
Thanks
Have a couple I’m considering, but wanted to try here just in case.

member named RLA had one a few weeks ago. It was nice. Check and see if he still has it. Thinking it was like 450 but was clean as a pin

I had not seen this post till today but did happen upon the KT down at KTP a couple of weeks ago and put it on lay-a-way. The metal was 95% and even had the original Kmart padded camo sling, but the butt had been shortened and a boo-ugly vented recoil pad halfassed put on.
As I have never owned a 30-30 I happened to like the 2/3s magazine and straight stock. Though it would be a nice match to the 39 Carbine I have.
Looked for a beech replacement stock which no longer existed but did luck into a nice clean walnut one with matching forend for a whole $65 on ebay... So one day this will be a Deluxe30KT...
Good luck on your search...that one that sold on GB was a nice gun for what it sold for...and only $20 shipping.

Build your own. Numrich has original new 30TK barrels. Not usually a big deal to swap barrels.

...but then there is finding a donor straight stock action, finding or modifying the magazine tube, getting the right length forend or having the barrel and magazine tube modified to take a longer forend...it isn't just a barrel swap...

It is if you already have a 336.
