Cut the .30-30 to 16.5 inches

Here we go again. I'm small enough to use a youth stock and could always pad the butt. You're malicious, why do you do things like this? Oh Boy, can't tell Patty. Wow, another thought....I could send my .223 to Wayne and have him make it a 6X45 like Tim's. Now I'm really over my head. I'd better go away for a bit.
