John, I'm going to have try this out and see if I'm in the ballpark. I'm going to have to find a new 30-30 round somewhere, everything I have is a reload.

Bill, I could tell he was a straight up guy on the phone. I'm just waiting for my check to clear and for him to get home from vacation. I can't wait to install new front sight.

KirkD and Mooseman, you guys are starting to scare me! I'm almost afraid to think about taking it hunting. I do find it amazing, that, after over 100 years, the thing still works. I do find your...

Mooseman,
What would you do with the front sight blade and the elevator missing? Are there OEM blades and elevators available, if so, where can you find them? Are all replacement blades going to...

Boerrancher - Numrich carries the elevator for the rear sight, but I think I want to stick with just the peep sight. They didn't have any front sights. I have found a website in the past that lists...

Runfiverrun, If I understand correctly then, this is a low serial number gun?? I will have a gunsmith check the head space on it. And I'll look up Numrich and see what I can find. Thanks.

I gave up on hunting deer here in CA, too many nuts in the woods and not enough deer, but I have pigs year round on some private land. I start planning and saving for my out of state antelope hunt...

I've been casting bullets on and off for over 35 years in limited amounts, I've never seen the tinsel fairy and now have no desire to have a visit. I would have to consider myself just dumb and...

Ahhh, thank you! Then, I guess the next step will be to determine the hardness of my lead and then slug the bore of the rifle to determine the correct diameter for the mold. I have to keep reading...
