You know, I haven't had a good old .30-30 lever gun in almost two decades. I'm never been a real big fan of them, being wondrously adept at mashing my trigger finger on closing the cocking lever with either the Winchester 94 or Marlin 336 designs, the most common usually encountered, though there are a couple of other versions around, the Mossberg 472 high on the list.
I may have to go do some shopping and see if I can find one that suits me. If they don't want me to have one, it's time to get one.
Interestingly, it looks as if the new 6,8mm military rimless cartridge shares a casehead dimension with the rimmed .30-30 brass. That suggests some interesting possibilities.
