See if it is ok on the old stock. If so, just bed the rifle into the new stock.

Did you sort it out? Mine is a .223 and I haven’t had it out much, but I had quite a few FTF with Winchester white box ammo.
no mate not yet, really only laziness to blame. I am planing on swapping it back to the old stock to see if that makes a difference, if not soak the bolt in diesel for a bit and give it a really good clean.
Fair enough.
So…Any news?
No mate, same laziness. Lol
Not that it matters much to the post but my very first gun was the 340e chambered in the 22 hornet, I absolutely love it still to this day and shoot it every chance I can get even inspite of her looks. I hope you get the bolt issue sorted as its a hard graft finding parts Nowdays.

Got to love the good old Hornet.

Definitely an ugly duckling, but great little guns. I’d love to pick up one in 30-30, I’d like to play with a dirty thirty and some pointy pills.

Sounds like the Blackout. Lol
Na heaps better. Everyone knows rimmed cartridges are the future!
30-30 with spires would actually be a good round. …Or you could try a 308.

Hmmm liking rimmed, that explains a lot of things

308 will never catch on. The dirty thirty has probably accounted for more meals than the 308 could ever dream of!

I haven’t seen one for sale in 30-30 for a long time. Theyve come a long way in 30-30 projectile development these days. My hornet would be lucky to produce 2"groups @ 100m in the early days of me having it but after removing the barrel band and fully floating she consistently produces under and inch with handloads.

@JMC_Def if you remove the barrel band is the barrel and action now just held in with the one screw?
There was one on Abused guns a few months ago in 30-30 must have been pricey or I would have bought it or stuck the link up.

That is very true @GUN-DMC, I came up with a solution and tig welded a threaded lug on the tang, created a small recess in the stock for the new addition then, I could true the action in the stock and bed conventionally. Now with the rear of the action and the recoil lug securely fastened you can safely omit the barrel band. It has lasted many years and significantly improved accuracy with no noticeable change to appearance. I went down this road as I had a crack in the barrel band and could not find a replacement part at the time. If you have anymore questions I’d be more than happy to answer. Cheers mate.

I’d love one in 30 30 also, for some cast bullet fun. Love the minimalist features of the 340. There is a guy on YouTube, shooting cast bullets well under an inch at 100m with one in 30 30
