This afternoon I attended a gunshow. I wasn't really in the market for anything and for once I managed to walk away without buying something. But one thing I saw at the show today left me puzzled. This last year I started collecting the Remington model 8's and have both the 32 and the 35 remington. This afternoon I saw several of the model 8's in the standard calibers of 25, 30, 32, and 35. What I did not expect to see was one of these rifles marked 30-30 Remington. What was this cartridge? So far I have turned up no information on a cartridge of this type and I'm reasonably certain no 30-30 Winchester would ever cycle in one of these guns. I'm fairly certain this was an original rifle, but I have sure never heard of it. Could the 30-30 Rem markings be a very early designation for the 30 Remington? Any information on this would be appreciated, this one has me stumped.
