I have a brother-in-law that has a 30-30 in a pump. All his guns are safe queens, shoots maybe 1 round a year ..... lol. I think it is a stevens or savage. If it works in a pump probably would work in an auto .... ?
I was relying on memory when I wrote the post.
Afterwards, I was thinking that someone made a 30-30 pump. And yes, Savage made a 30-30 pump rifle. It was the Model 170. Seems to be worth $300 or so, if you can find one.
After searching the web, I found hints that Remington may have made a 30-30 semi-auto rifle. Sure nuff. It was the Model 8 & Model 81.
As for the Rossi, didn't find a model in 30-30 but they did make a model in 7.62X39 (no longer listed on their site).
Savage also made a Model M-219C in 30-30 Single Shot Rifle.
Cimarron made a model called the Little Rascal (mini Sharps) in 30-30 caliber. Neat looking rifle if you have $1300 or so to spend.
Thompson Center made 10", 14" & 23" 30-30 barrels for the Contender.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. (Ruger Mini-30)
Sorry for the rabbit trail.
