Does this belong in Curio And Relic since it is an old firearm? if it does please move it... Thank you as i am looking for its history...

Sorry can't help with the C&R gun, but here's a current revolver chambered in 30-30

I think I remember hearing about a revolver chambered in .30 carbine, but never 30-30. Would be pretty cool to see one.

A company named Phelps IIRC made single action .30-30 revolvers. They also made them in .45-70. The revolver that may have been referred to by your abuelo was maybe a .32-20 or a .44-40 or a .38-40 as rifles were also chambered in these calibers.

I doubt one from that era existed.

Metalurgy would be a little suspect I would think. Nowadays there is that outfit that builds the huge revolvers around the .45-70 so it is quite possible sombody could drill a new cylinder for it.

It was around 1910-1920 when that Revolution happened....The Cartridge came out 1895. So i would think its possible.

I work at Jackson Arms and we have a customer that brings one in. funny enough he says it kick less than his 44 mag, I don't know how that is possible but thats what he says. that thing is HUGE!!

[Fantasma]

They are huge. Must be a nice gun. The only i have found in production is the BFR from magnum research. Big gun... it's nice though...

Can we own this revolver in California? or does the safe list include revolvers too?

[JTROKS]

Single actions that meets the length criteria are exempt from the approved list.

As mentioned, it would be just about impossinble for a revolver to have been chambered in. 30-30Win in the 1910-1920 time frame. it would have had to be a custom job and the metallurgy and such was not up to it at the time most likely. I'd bet the gun was a .32-20 of some sort.
