semi auto 30-30?

[James1873]

just curious if there is there such a rifle?

Only thing that comes to mind is the Standard Arms, but it was in .30 Remington. Not .30-30, but close.

Hmm. Not that comes to mind. Perhaps folks tried, but the firearms Gods in their wisdom struck them down with lightning. That'd be my guess, anyway.


An SKS would be ballistically similar to a semi 30-30, though... Plus there's the built in weenie roaster.

Globe modified many SVT-40's to shoot 303 British.... If you have enough time and money you could probably accomplish something similar.

not many semi autos in calibers with rimmed cartridges

Plenty of semi's in 7.62X39... and the "CGN sooth-sayers" keep telling us that the 7.62X39 is identical in performance to the .30/30...

And don't those Globe's have a terrible reputation for reliability?

Yep....you would be better off with a slingshot.

i can see why there probably isn't much demand for a semi auto 30-30, though i would buy one lol. I would have thought for as long as 30-30 has been around, there would have been atleast one
