Howard; Jupp.. You are probably right about buying a 30.30 would be cheaper that converting this one. Since I have never stopped playing cowboy, I have ended up with a couple of rifles in 30.30.. I probably don't really need another.. at least not according to my wife
Ron; I didn't know that.. thanks.
I would be happy with a "Poor Man's 94" by replacing the barrel, magazine and forearm with those from a 94..
