I have an 8 round PG marked 30-30 but it's plugged from scope mounts and I think the butt has some overvarnish ... PM me if it's of interest to you and I will take some pics. Dennis

Nice find congrats. the rifle appears to be in very nice condition. I do not believe the FN's came tapped for the tang sights like the Rem's did. I think the front sight is a replacement also .... not trying to drop a turd in the punch bowl cuz I sure would love to find one like it. Dennis
