Has anybody ever made such a rifle chambered for the 30 carbine cartridge?

  I'd wonder if with alot of money and effort one could turn a Remington 788 (or Savage 340?0 in 30/30 to a 30 Carbine. Set back and rechamber, rethread the barrel and use a 223 or 222 Remington bolt to rework to the 30 Carbine case head size. Again, lots of money and effort.
  
  I bought a T/C Encore 16" barrel in 30 Carbine just to see how well the case does for accuracy reloading and to be able to shoot the inexpensive factory stuff. It's fun.
  
  Edit: Accuracy was pretty good - touch over 1" @ 100 yds using 110 grain Sierra spire points, cheap Aguila ($19.00 for 50) was about 2" or so. With a 16" bbl (made by Match Grade Machine) the thing is very compact, I usually stash the carbine barrel in a side pouch when I shoot the longer heavier stuff.

  How was the accuracy? What was the length of the barrel?
