Don't count it that way.

You sold 16 pounds of guns and bought 5 pounds of guns.

Define "carbine"... Some of those rifles don't look to be much over 20"... and my 20" "short rifle" is more of a "carbine" than my M4gery ever was... When I zoom in, they all look like 24-26 inch rifle barrels, with the solid forend cap, not the band. For exa...

How can a can cast bullet sized at .309 have the same or lower pressure than a copper-jacketed round sized at .307 or .308? Aside from all the other reasons posted, the cast bullet will be barrel size as soon as it enters the rifling. It is larger than the jacketed for only a fraction of an inch. B...

Rifles sometimes don't behave by the numbers, so precise calculations may not always allow you to select the right sight height. One size higher or lower may work better. Get a flat head screw that will fit inverted in the front dovetail (with a bit of filing or some tape or shim on the bottom.) Adj...

It should be not quite parallel, as the barrel has to point above the target.

As long as were talking .30 carbine leverguns, I'll though in my 2 cents worth on an idea I proposed on Single Actions.com, that is a .30 carbine Auto Rim cartidge.

For any grinder: Make sure the motor diameter is smaller than the wheel diameter. Some aren't, and that limits where you can grind on some items.

700 - 721 barrel threads are the same. Barrel probably will headspace, but the sights, if any, may be on the bottom or somewhere else.
