I may be mistaken, but did Ruger ever offer the .30 Carbine in a Flat Top?  I know you can find them in the 3-screw OM style. but not too sure about the Flat Tops...

The 30 Carbine, even as an Old Model used the 44 frame, so it is larger than the OM 357.  The Carbine round has higher pressure than 357.  You can tell by the LOUD report when you shoot it.  I believe the Carbine reound is a full case of H110 powder.
