Pair of peaches there!! Very nice.

HAHA!! That is a worthy crusade!!!

@MS 9x56 The .358 Win, 9x56, 9x57, 9.3x57, 9.5x57 all IMO get short shrift first by being compared with the 9.3x62 and .35 Whelen in modern loadings and even by comparison w/ the .375 H&H. I suspect a lot of that among those who should be more knowledgeable has to do w/ the belittlement more...

I've been partial to the 9.3's for years. Had a couple x57's, shot deer, elk and bear w/ that caliber & one crazy range cow! lol . Excellent in its range. Deer, elk, & bear with the x62, also.

Interesting the broken stock. Look closely.... Many CZ's have poor grain flow thru the wrist. My old 9.3x62 is sketchy as is a spare stock I have, and many I've seen are laid out similarly.

Indeed. The Danes actually produced a deflector for training exercises to minimize injuries to bystanding soldiers!!

Thanks. I do not want mine cut. I like it as-is but was wondering about the technical end for others I know. Again, thanks.

@BobReed: Do you know if any modern production "pre-64"-type M70 extractors will fit a pre-64?

Haha. Indeed! HK 91's and Hakims are superb tools for returning cartridge brass to its original condition before the foundry got to work on it. :ROFLMAO:

True enough, among other things. They do have their advantages as well.

No big deal. Leave it alone. The bigger risk is fixing it until it fails.

Yes, of course. But I don't want one. I like the synthetic stock I have. My question was just in regards to how a synthetic stock could be shortened. Not sure it can be, so my surmise was that the previous post involved a wood stock.

Does yours have a wood stock? As posted above, I like mine a lot including the LOP but looking at he synth stock not sure how it could be shortened?

Several bolt .30-30's have been made over the years, the 788 you reference, the Win 54, the Savage Model 340. The latter actually does sort of fit the descriptor of..."weird". :ROFLMAO:

I brought a Marlin transition model 36/336 Sporting Carbine in .30-30 to RSA in '89. Shot a vervet monkey w/ it. Sold it and regretted it. Just bought a replacement, a 1950 336 Sporting Carbine. Then broke my wrist so it'll be a while till I shoot it!
