Is the .30 Remington cartridge that's being chambered in the AR-15 platform the same cartridge dimensionally as the old .30 Remington that was chambered in the Remington Model 14 and 141 and some of the early Remington bolt actions?
I'm looking at a Model 141 and I wanted to be sure that the brass was reasonably available before I bought it.
Thanks.
Not 100% but I don't think so.

I do see new .30 Rem brass here and there. Being a relatively low pressure round, I suspect brass life will be good eaning you don't need tons. Brian A's Dad had a bunch of loaded ammo and I bought a few boxes for my Dad when he got his M-14 (boy, that's ugly sentence structure). Don't know how much, if any, is left. Fun guns...wouldn't mind one at all in .35....
No and this is apparently a common misconception.

There is the old .30 Remington and there is the new .30 Remington AR. Different.
Just to hijack the topic and drift a bit for fun, it seems to me, after much cogitation, that the .300 AAC Blackout is the single most practical .30 for the AR-15.
