Picked the cleaning kit at a yard sale last summer. Its been used but complete and in good shape. Found the 30-30 ammo box in a crawl space about 25 years ago out west. Glad to share these after all these years.

Calls back great memories. I didn't come from a hunting family. Somewhere around 16 or 17 I had accquired a Savage.30-30. My best friend and I went "hunting". Bottles, old beer cans, anything shiny...all were fair game for these two "hunters". There, in the distance, the sun reflected off of glass. I wasn't sure what it was, but I was sure I could hit it! So was he. Just after we fired, there was a russle of leaves near us. We fired again with the same result. Hmmm. We went to see what we were shooting at. It was a very old television with a metal casing around the back of the picture tube. The bullets where ricocheting around the back of the tube...we were shooting at ourselves!
