It's not worth anything. The conversion to 30-30 removed any and all collector value the gun may once have had. But it's your money; post an ad up on the EE and see what you can get.

The Equipment Exchange is probably your only bet. Having been converted to 30-30, all numbers matching is irrelevant, and adding a "correct" stock won't increase the guns value.
x3!
I had one and, although not a "collectible" it certainly was a great rifle. Sub 200 bucks (buying and selling) but a million bucks of enjoyment.
Turned a few shooters on with it. Cheap abundant ammo, low recoil, accurate. What not to like? Deer slayer too.

Yeah maybe turning it into a deer gun wouldnt be such a bad idea, since its already sportered and converted to 30-30, although it pains me to say that since its all matching. If you were able to get a fullwood stock for it at a good price though, might be a fun project although I don't think it will significantly increase its value. Ever get a chance to shoot it yet?
I know, but for one stock?
Guisan's stocks have to be sort of "duffle bag cut" to get them in a smaller package.
The cut is under the barrel band.
Not that difficult to use a dowel and re-glue the joint.
He was asking $75.00 USD+shipping.
He has 1889, 1911, K11 and K31 stocks.
No 96/11 stocks at the moment

I do love the swiss strait pulls, and also love the 3030 cartridge..... hmm....NICE thing about this conversion is that you can load up .30-30 and use POINTED bullets.
Generally, also, you can seat the bullet 'WAY out.
Makes for "extended-range" .30-30 ammo at very reasonable pressures.
SOME of these were converted by butchering the original barrels, others seem to have been done with chamber inserts. I have one here which was done with a chamber insert. The barrel was removed, insert put in place and then the barrel threaded back on, trapping a very thin flange into place. I am wondering what the original chamber is like UNDER the insert, if it can still be used. Swiss 7.5 casing has a LOT more capacity.
Any .30-30 rifles I have seen also have had the original 3-groove barrels shortened a lot, so no possibility of restoration.
Too bad: they are beautifully-smooth actions.
Do have fun!
