Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Is that for real? Not in the market for one but I'd like to see how they made it work with the rim.
Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Not sure. Rim-lock seems to be a potential issue.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
That's kind of interesting, probably not something I would want, but if it proved reliable and you were into the AR-15 platform, then I guess it has merit. I just gave a 7.62 x 39 AR to my son for his birthday, because I just never used it, but ballistically, they are pretty close.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
I like the balistics, but why? The .300 HAMR improved them and is not a rimmed cartridge.

Much the same could be said for the 45-70.
I wish it were as true for the 32-20, 218 Bee, 25-35, 44-40, and 38-40...

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
I'd much rather see an AR done in .30-30 than see a traditional lever action .30-30 done up butt an assault rifle.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
I'm not surprised, but... somewhat shocked. Holds no appeal to me... in fact, so little that I don't see how it could for anyone.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Oh I know they exist, and from more than one seller too. Just think I'd rather see this AR done in .30-30 than any classic turned into an abortion. Those I have seen are burned into my memory, and I wont soon forget any of those ugly things.nwcatman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2026 3:35 pmI think you're too late. seen some the PK marlin site, FB etc. saw at leasr one JM put into a plastic stock with all the fixings. makes you wanna get your hands on whoever did it.marlinman93 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2026 12:56 pm I'd much rather see an AR done in .30-30 than see a traditional lever action .30-30 done up butt an assault rifle.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Looks like a long format (AR-10) receiver
With those guns already available in 308, I definitely don’t see the point
However, I hope they sell a bunch of them - because whatever somebody else chooses to use is their business and not mine

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
The caliber designation and the case will be interesting. Remington produced the .30 Remington for the Model 8 and Model 81 semi-automatic rifles. 30 Remington, a rimless case and competitor to the 30-30 Winchester.
Wonder if it is the same as the .30 Remington.? Ad says 30-30 for the caliber, not 30-30 Winchester.
Read all 'bout it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.30_Remington

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
The 30-30 in a bolt action AR platform may be interesting, I have a bolt action Savage and TC singular shot in 30-30 and hand loads will rival a 308 winchester

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Harry: your Savage .30-30. Is that the 340 Model? My Dad and my brother had the Model 340,.30-30. Believe magazine held 3, or is it 4 rounds? Interesting little rifles. I always thought with a 'scope, it might be a "fun" 100yds cast bullet rifle.

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
Yes the 340, it was the second gun my dad bought for me, the first was a surplus 7.7 jap that cost about 35 bucks. That 7.7 was pure garbage, so dad traded it and cash for the savage.Ray Newman wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 1:16 pm Harry: your Savage .30-30. Is that the 340 Model?

Re: Not your daddy's "thutty-thutty"
My Daddy's rifle was a pre- 64 Winchester '94. I shot a deer with it the year he passed in 2004. My Son, born that year, should be able to use it after I'm gone... MK
