This is mine, bit of an oddball it seems as its stamped 336w but factory 5 shot and 16.5" barrel.

Out of a 20inch 30-30 carbine, 2250 to 2300 fps with 150 gr projectiles is not difficult. The difference between that and a 15 inch 308 is not worth worrying about.

Overall length of the 2 combos will be very similar.

ADI pistol data (15" barrel) suggests velocity of 2600-2680 fps should be viable with 155gn projectiles, I'll also experiment with some 130gn pills
Thats still a fair bit more whack than ye old 30-30, not that it matters as this isn't a long range rifle by any stretch.

If I had known that is what you were going to do with it I wouldn't have given it to you

If it wasn't for the stainless barrel I would be more hesitant about it

Can anyone tell me what the worth ofa Henry lever gun is, 45 colt, tube loader in brand new condition, no dings or scratches, mint (it's a couple of years old, but unfired til the other day, had about a half a dozen rounds through it). It's the black(powder coated maybe) steel, not brass action.

@BarrytheHunter. Can’t edit post above but:
Look at my thread ‘A blast from the past’ in Off Topic section.

A few lever action rifles in my collection. I mainly have Marlins, with a few Winchesters just to keep them honest.
30/30 Texas, 2017 model.

[Beemerlite]

Marlin Original Golden 39a, scope is a Barris 4.75 fixed Grand Slam. This rifle was made in New Haven. But has no JM or Rem stamping marks on it. Also has palm swell on pistol grip.

[Beemerlite]

Marlin 308 Express MXLR 16inch. It is one, if not the slickest Marlin lever action I have ever owned. Im lucky I have about 250 factory rounds for it and all the reloading gear.
