Any exp. with this model? I saw a 170 carbine in 30-30 at the lasdt gun show .Looked to be in good shape, seller was asking $170.

I would have bought it for that.  Don't see them very often

 Instead of buying the 170 ,I got a Nova 20ga. pump.I wished I had gotten the 30-30.

I'm still lookin' for one, they were plentyful around here 10 years ago, but the supply dried up. I'd really like one in .35 Remington though.

how does the 170 differ from the 140 bolt action?

If it was in good shape I would have bought it at that price with no second thoughts, I would have tried to haggle because it was a gun show after all but if the seller wouldn't budge I would have paid the price.  I too would prefer a 35 but like you said the rifles and especially the carbines are drying up so the next decent one I see at a fair price I plan on getting.  Everyone I have fooled with have been really good shooters, carry well and are reliable, I should have bought one a long time ago.

The Model 170 is a pump action based on one of the shotgun Models, although I forgot just which one.

have one at a gun shop for about 6 months now while he struggles trying to get it to cycle properly. Shells jam on the way up from the magazine and I messed with it a bunch trying to get the little zig zag spring right////any thoughts?
