No. 1 Cal. 30-30 info please

I sold my Winchester 94 Trapper years ago, but still have a few boxes of ammo. I should have just sold the ammo,,, however recently came across a blued No. 1 30-30 in like new condition, only downside was no box. From the Ruger website they were made in 2010, I think.

I know the stainless guns are out there but can't find much info on the blued guns.

G2, 2010 is the correct year. I checked my records and received 2 in the fall of 2010, #134-31827 and 134-31798. I sold both and they are still with their original owners. Naturally, being the rifle looney that I am, I considered rechambering to 30-30 AI or 30-284 just to be different. Bob!!

Lipseys has their exclusive certificates on line, model 11346, they say 250 made.I recall at the release of the 1a 30-30, it was accompanied by 1a versions in 35 Whelen, 6.5x55, and 257 Roberts-I could be wrong on the latter two cartridges? but think this is right. As such, I think at least the 30-30 and 35 Whelen were slow sellers, had one of each NIB from FFL a few years after release. I understand the 1a 30-30 is now difficult to find. Probably no help

Anyone else have a 1A 30-30 with Circassian wood and the more extensive checkering?

Rocdoc, I also had the other 3 calibers that you mentioned, all bought in 2010. The 257 and 6.6x55 had very nice wood. Bob!!

I've owned a couple...still have one with the wrap around checkering and really nice Circassian.

All in 30-30?! That's interesting.

I seem to recall a 303 British chambering around the same time, no? Perhaps it was a year before or after, but I seem to remember getting both the 30-30 and 303 around the same time?

I have the 30/30 in Circassian Walnut and 3 of the 303 in the RSI Model with great wood got them from Davidson around the same time.
