30 STREAKER

Research notes

The 30 Streaker dates from 1993 and was developed by Lee Martin from Arlington, VA. The original idea was born from a dissatisfaction of the 30 Carbine loads in a Ruger Blackhawk. Lee felt that firstly rimless rounds in a revolver tend to provide too many extraction problems and secondly that a Blackhawk was capable of more, so they set out to develop the 30 Streaker. It is based on a shortened 30 Herrett case, or alternatively from 30-30 Winchester brass. The idea was actually a duplication of an old wildcat design from the mid to late 1970’s by another wildcatter named Bob Rayzak that used a shortened 30 Herrett in a Ruger Blackhawk conversion.
