Re: Model 30-S markings and serial numbers
Since posting this question I have obtained back issues of the RSA Journals for December 2012 and December 2014. The December 2014 journal contains many beautiful color photos of the Remington 30A. The December 2012 contains an excellent article by John F. Lacy on the 30A and 30-S rifles. I thought ...

Re: Model 14 / 14-1/2 Full Collection?
I've bought a few of these rifles recently - really love the 14 carbines. I think a conservative guess for unaltered guns in very good condition might be $800 each for the Model 14 rifles, $1,600 each for the carbines, $2,500 each for the Model 14 1/2 rifles and $4,000 each for the carbines. So a to...

Model 30-S markings and serial numbers
I recently acquired what I thought was a Model 30-S in .35 Remington, a rifle I had been looking for for a long time. The serial number is in the 9,000 range. Looking at my other 30-S rifles I noticed that they all have serial numbers in the 20,000+ range and that they all have aperture sights. The ...

Re: Remington 30-S in 7,65 x53mm?
It's true that the Model 30 -s was built in 7.65 argentine. Go to www.montywhitley.com and look through the "sold items" and you will see a nice one that he sold about a year ago. The price was around $2300 if I remember. Surely there were not many built in this caliber.

Re: Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
Bob - sorry for this late reply. I haven't visited the board in a while. Unfortunately I don't have a Model 30 in .30-06 so not sure how they are marked. However, I did pick up another 30 express in .35 Remington. It is also an early rifle (10xxx), but it is different from the other one we discussed...

Re: Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
Thank you for the info and particularly for the detailed photo. The extractor on my rifle looks very much like your old one, so it probably needs to be replaced.
Please post pictures of your 30-06 when it arrives and I will let you know if I find any info on caliber rarity.

Re: Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
I was drooling over the G&H when it was posted on Mike Schwandt's website - beautiful piece. G&H rifles on the Model 30 action seem to be about as scarce among G&H rifles as the Model 30 itself is among American prewar sporting rifles. I've seen only one other G&H on that action and ...

Re: Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
Bob, now that I look at your rifle more it's a really nice piece. The effect of the scope and red pad are very tasteful and it just has a serious, solid look about it, like an Oberndorf Mauser. Here are a few pictures of my Model 30. One question for you. Have you ever had a problem with extraction?...

Re: Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
Nice looking rifle. Mine is the earlier style with less checkering and metal buttplate. I will try to post some photos of it. Any idea how many are around in this caliber? I haven't seen any reference book or other material that discusses rarity of the Model 30 by caliber. I saw one in 7.65 mm, whic...

Remington 30 Express in .35 Remington
Does anyone know the relative rarity of the .35 Remington in the Model 30 Express. I have one made in July 1926 which is in just about perfect condition with almost no blue wear and a perfect bore. It's the only 30 Express I have and I figure it's a good one to keep. Just wondering about order of ra...
