Repaired, 30-30 misfires
« on: February 16, 2010, 10:23:38 AM »
Well it's been a long story on this gun.  Definate my favorite Handi, and probably my favorite gun period.  I've had a lot of fun with her, but I started having a misfiring problem last year.  The transfer bar would drop too soon unless you 'shotgunned' the trigger, jerking it to the rear.  And that, boys and girls, is not the way to shoot accurately!  Long story short, after replacing everything in the innards except the trigger, I finally got around and replaced the trigger.  That seems to have done the trick.  No more falling t-bar!  While I was at it, I changed out the pallet wood stock with a shortened BC stock I had on hand.  I love it!  Now it's as cute as it is functional!  Now all I have to do is replace the old Tasco with a compact 4X model.  44 Man

Still my favorite, my 158 topper 30-30!

It is a beauty! I have similar plans for my 30-30. It has the straight grip pallet stock. I think I may just strip and refinish.

I thank God everyday for my loving wife and all the fond memories of hunting with my Papa from a child until now.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

I've had a .30-30 on order since the last week of August.  I keep harassing my gun dealer and he keeps looking.  I'll find one eventually.

That BC stock looks really good on that rifle.
