I've wanted to pick one up in an unusual chambering for a while, now. I wouldn't get near the things when I was young&dumb, now they look like fun to me.

I think some were chambered in 25-20- that would be cool, along with a 30-30 meat getter; there are probably enough variations to keep a person interested in collecting them.

i saw several in a pawn shop in corpus christi, they were all 30/30.... not too bad looking, actions were smooth... and for around $250.... i'd like to find 1 in .225 win, ive got a m70 in that caliber.... collectors' firearms here in houston has several.... i think the shotguns used the same action, only bigger???... they all look alike from the bottom, only giveaway is the magazine size....
