I ran across something unusual today and decided to get it. Someone at one time took this .30-30 Model 94 Winchester, made it into a takedown gun, and also cut the barrel down to 16-inches like a trapper. The release is on the underside of the barrel where someone milled out the front barrel band and put a button to release the mag. With the action open, the button is pushed (sticks right now but it does work) and the mag tube is slid forward and then the gun can be taken down. Whoever did it also added set screws to the top of both barrel bands to make it more solid. It's a post-64 gun so the collector value isn't there, but there was a level of craftsmanship here that you don't see often with guns like this.

That is unusual, but it looks very well done. That should be a very handy rifle, i think you did very well!
