I never heard of a Marlin 30TK until yesterday.
Today, it came home with me!
What a great little rifle! Sort of a Trapper with a barrel extension.
It was listed for sale not far from me, on a Marlin forum.
I found a Levergunscommunity thread on it and read all about it.

The previous owner had a scope on it that I did not want,
as shown in the picture below. He bought it without a rear sight,
put a Williams FP on it, then sold the FP when he added the scope.
I had a Williams 5D in the parts bin, so that's what is on it now.
He is a lefty, like me, so I didn't even have to turn the hammer extension over.
I've never used a hammer extension. It's kinda nice being able to cock the hammer
without obscuring the view through the peep sight.

Re: Marlin 30TK
I read that one of the distinctions of this rifle is the way the mag tube is attached. There is a dovetail under the barrel with a blank in it, which is drilled and tapped for the screw at the end of the mag tube. Very clever and clean!
Re: Marlin 30TK
Great find. Not many of those in circulation. As you saw in that other thread, I converted mine to forend cap and upgraded the wood. I also reamed it to 30-30 Ackley. Great little rifle.
