"After the war, Remington took the design, removed the military ears, bayonet mounts & other military things & put it in a sporter stock, It was the Model 30 Remington."

Interesting note about that...

The Remington Model 30 is one of the few commercial sporting rifles offered in the United States with clip guides that would allow loading from a stripper clip.

The Remington Models 8 and 81 also had clip guides, but use special clips that are rare as hen's teeth and even more expensive.
