Well I think that's what it is anyway ......
One of the last guns Dad bought is a little , I'd guess , type 38 carbine . A sported stock with an ebony tip , I'm no wood worker but I think I could have fitted that better . It's ugly and has many spots and speckles . It came with about 30 rounds of Norma marked at $35/20 ......
After some research it seems to me that after all of the reading about brass forming with 35 Rem etc that if the information is correct 30-30 with a little rim trim would be a lot less work to convert . They share the .422 head/base and with any luck at all most of the extra neck will draw back with CoW fire forming to fill the shoulder . Or it might be reamed 6.5 -257 .
I need a shell holder but that shouldn't be a big deal I probably have at least 1 that'll do for now . 40, x39 , or 6.8 , I may even have a 35 Rem .
