Al, the 30/30 come out in 1894, hate to tell you but if action I wouldn't want to be waiting around the Q Store door for three years for the ammo to arrive. Given a choice of any battle rifle available in 1891 I'd probably opt for a Lee Metford, fast bolt action and ten shot magazine.
On my earlier post, the Glisenti M89 was also known as the Bodeo Revolver. The Italians made them up to about 1926 and they were often captured during WW2. I once heard that some were even made with brass (bronze?) frames. I remember reading somewhere on the net that they are still fairly common around North Africa.
