It will be a JM in an oval near the receiver on the left side of the barrel. The size and style may vary a little. The stamp will be on guns pre 90-91ish

You two are about 10 years apart on your dates. Sorry Darren, I believe you might be wrong on yours. IMHO

There is a thread titled "I didn't read the thread but I want to reply anyway" on another forum I frequent. I have many times thought about starting a similar thread here.

Me either but it seems once you go to checkout on most of that stuff add $20 shipping. It’s not a caliber I need hundreds of rounds for so I just buy a box at a time, 1 shot 1 deer right

That made me gut laugh

If you're talking about the ammoseek.com link I posted, I noticed one place had free shipping over $49. A couple of boxes would cover that easily.

Can you elaborate on what this stamp is and what you have heard? A 30-30 Henry is on my wish list but don't want a surprise.

Others have explained the JM stamp thing. But keep in mind that only applies to Marlins. There are no such issues with the Henrys .

The only thing to be aware of with Henry is that the older ones will only load from the tube. More recent manufactured Henry’s will have the sideloading gate.

I don’t own a 30/30 so I can’t offer much in that regard. Other than the fact that it’s just a worthless brush gun and you should go ahead and donate it to me lol

They aren't worthless. I have killed a lot of brush with mine.
