I'll be damned. .30 Newton brass is available again.

That is going to make a friend of mine VERY happy, as he has a .35 Newton that was his Grandfather's or something like that.

Pal, have the stock inspected VERY VERY carefully for cracks before you shoot it.

I heard that people used to take the original Newton stock off the rifle and have it restocked with something more robust to guard against ruining the original.
