The Make (Rem, Savage, etc) and model number has to be stamped on the barrel or receiver somewhere.

T_S or a number of others could tell you a good deal about it if you provide that much info.

This is embarrassing... I was looking at the 410. I didn't look at the barrel until I read your last post. The 30-30 is a Winchester 94 and it appears the bullets are inserted on the side and pushed forward into that tube but I could be wrong. I really like the 30-30 now but will get something bigger after selling the 12 gauges.

The 12 gauge shotguns I mentioned earlier are both over/under, are Browning and made in Belgium. Nice guns. I remember my dad telling me the barrels are slightly different sizes but I don't remember the reasons for the size difference.
