The Model 30AS configuration here pairs a 20-inch round steel barrel with Marlin's Micro-Groove rifling, a blued finish, and smooth, uncheckered hardwood furniture with a pistol-grip buttstock. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a comfortable, traditional fit.
Feeding is through a full-length tubular magazine under the barrel with a 5+1 capacity. The rifle loads through a right-side gate and ejects to the right. Barrel markings read "MOD. 30AS MICRO-GROOVE BARREL CAL. 30/30 WIN."
Sighting equipment includes a ramped front sight; the rifle is currently configured for optics with the side-mounted Tasco 4x32 scope installed. No front sight hood is observed. A left-side scope mount carries a Tasco 4x32 scope in rings, and a hammer spur extension is installed to provide clearance and positive manipulation with the optic.
This example carries the North Haven, CT rollmark and was produced in 1984. It uses an external hammer and lever-action operation with a blued receiver and barrel. Safety features are consistent with this model and era.
