I still have 2 boxes of Ted Williams 30-30, headstamped Sears.
A friend of mind tried to make a hot rod out of it by putting in a Buick engine and transmission. He could never get it to run correctly and sold it to me out of frustration - and cheap.
I messed with it for another year and couldn't get it run right, so I sold the engine and trans and junked the rest.
Of course you can imagine what collectors pay for them now (another of my brilliant decisions).
