Title: Hello
Post by: 1911love on March 15, 2009, 04:05:46 AM
   Hi to all.
I'm the new guy,and have what might seem to be a silly question.
See I want to build for lack of a better word a tactical 30-30. Not so much for running threw the streets, critters in the back yard and campsite. I saw on TV were they had a rail set up for a flashlight mount. I would like to learn more about that and were to find it. Thank you all for your time and your help.
Humbly yours, Angus Kunz

Angus -

welcome aboard, I hope you find this site useful. I will warn you as they say on TV - characters are welcome. That means there are no silly questions, but there are a few silly people!  ;D  Don't be afraid to jump in if and when you wish.

You didn't say - are you looking to build on an AR platform, or just modifying  a lever action like a Winchester or Marlin? And do you recall what show you saw the light rail on?

Something like this?

About as tactical as you can get, although a fwd retractable bipod could work.

Changing a traditional wood stock 30-30, to an "evil black rifle", ......I kinda like it,... 8)

Welcome to DRTV, as previously posted, there are no silly questions. In fact, we kinda like the different/ unusual ones,....

Somewhere in the archives here, there is a member with one that has pics also.

Do you have a 30-30 you want to "tweak"? Marlin? Winchester?

I'm sure other members can get brand specific for you as far as rails, stocks, etc,...
