[quote="Old Ironsights"]Over a year ago I bought a 91/30 to keep as a cheap truck gun.
Unfortunately the thing is longer than my cab is wide (well, the seat scabbard anyway)
So I'm a-gonna try my hand at Bubbaizing and lop 6" off the barrel - yet keep the original stock.
Here's the start - wood first:

Having said that, I see no issue sporterizing one of the "common" 91/30s. Comparing a Finn or one of the more uncommon/rare variants to say, a '44 Tula, is an apples and oranges comparison IMO. It's sort of like Chevelles. A '68 302 Malibu and a '68 SS 396 might be the same vehicle, but they ain't the same vehicle if you catch my drift.
I have to disagree.bubba doesn't have a clue what a common 91/30 is.
what if he took a pic of the reciever and it was a hex and SA stamped and had a DDR stamp.then would it just be a cheap 80.00 junker?.
what if it looked like this
hmm would he take a hacksaw to this one or the bubba out in ca prop his back door open with it because its to fugly to shoot?.BTW there is maybe a handful of these in the US.
I saved this one from a bubba that was going to drill and tap it and mount a scope on it.he also thought it was a M44
if any bubba wants to go on the firing line with his marlin 336 or mini-14 and shoot for lunch let me know.
