Is that for real? Not in the market for one but I'd like to see how they made it work with the rim.

Not sure. Rim-lock seems to be a potential issue.

but why? i think just for the novelty

That's kind of interesting, probably not something I would want, but if it proved reliable and you were into the AR-15 platform, then I guess it has merit. I just gave a 7.62 x 39 AR to my son for his birthday, because I just never used it, but ballistically, they are pretty close.

Check out extra mags. They're $100 each!

I like the balistics, but why? The .300 HAMR improved them and is not a rimmed cartridge.

"...the 30-30 will never die..."

Much the same could be said for the 45-70.

I wish it were as true for the 32-20, 218 Bee, 25-35, 44-40, and 38-40...

I'd much rather see an AR done in .30-30 than see a traditional lever action .30-30 done up butt an assault rifle.

I think you're too late. seen some the PK marlin site, FB etc. saw at leasr one JM put into a plastic stock with all the fixings. makes you wanna get your hands on whoever did it.

I'm not surprised, but... somewhat shocked. Holds no appeal to me... in fact, so little that I don't see how it could for anyone.

Oh I know they exist, and from more than one seller too. Just think I'd rather see this AR done in .30-30 than any classic turned into an abortion. Those I have seen are burned into my memory, and I wont soon forget any of those ugly things.
