    if you are refering to the rolling block (remington copies), they are quite strong but I'd stay away from the top end loads.

    Does it look like the .30-30 at:

    If so, I would not push it with magnumized ammunition. It ought to handle standard smokeless loads ok, though.

    I don't know the pressure limit of the 1871 design but with its single locking lug, I would not magnumize it. Frank DeHaas recommended not loading the German 71-84 any heavier than factory.
    You might say the Husqvarna was later manufacture of better steel and was made in .30-30, which has higher chamber pressure (but less case head area for it to act against) and so should handle 28,000 CUP SAAMI maximum loads. I wouldn't.

    Maybe somebody on the Scandinavian board would have an idea:

    Hawk it is very close but much more mass. I found a web sight that gave all civilian calibers and other particulars. Manufactue dates for this one is 1915 to 1932. Cylinder action single shot Mauser M1871. I hope this helps toward my original question,you fellers are the best
