Appalachian Assault Rifle- by Ed Harris
If you don't subscribe to the CBA Fouling Shot - here is a condensed version:
A favorite of lawmen and deer slayers alike, .30-30 lever-guns defended our Home Front in two World Wars, fed a then-mostly rural nation and still have utility for sport and home protection.
My childhood wasn’t different from others of the Baby Boomer generation. Northern Virginia after World War II was an odd mix of The Walton’s and American Graffiti. The rural south still existed where we now call it “outside the beltway.â€

Might as well face it, you're addicted to guns . . .

[quote="preventec47"]... As a law enforcement or home defense gun Frank compared his Winchester to an SKS, calling it his “Appalachian Assault Rifle.â€

I really like Frank Marshall and Ed Harris' thinking as well. Frank Marshall has passed on but for those of you that arn't aware, you can read more by Ed Harris over on the Cast Bullet Assoc. forum. The is also a post over there, under the Suggestions forum I think, regarding putting Frank's writing into a book. A great idea. I'd pay to read the words of Frank Marshall and Finn Aagaard.
It won't take the place of this forum but the info there is helpfull to a levergunner.

This is my daughter and her first buck. One shot through the chest at approx 120 yards after a long sneak in rough country. The big buck bounded away at the shot but toppled after a couple jumps. 30-30 is a keeper!

This is a less than ideal e-version of a glossy snap shot.

Good post. Fun to see who we see eye-to-eye with. I would like to comment that we're talking about a leveraction .308 here. Same bullets will work in a 30-06 or 300 WM. How cool is that?
