"This Kiss" /= "Kiss This"

[raxar]

Highly doubtful. Unless you're including military-style rifles. I'd bet far more commercial bolt , pump , lever , semi-auto and single shot sporting rifles. I do recall reading the US Gov't buying a few hundred Winchester 94's in 30-30 for their railroad guards.

The winchester 94, Remington 700 and Winchester model 70 have all been used by the military, there isn't a more common 30/30, and doubt there is a more common .308.

I think the Sex Pistols did it first.

the 30/30 30 06 and .308 are all military rounds, the most common rifles chambered for each are military rifles.

When I hear military I think of general issue, which would be 45/70, 30-40 Krag (30 Govt), 30-06, 7.62 X 51 (308), 5.56 (223). All of these were used in by the US military in standard issue arms developed for the military. The use of civilian arms by the military does not make them military arms in the classical sense.

The use of non-standard calibers for specialty uses or exigent circumstances has always occurred, but just because the military uses one does not make it 'military' in my book. If so we have to add 22 Hornet, 338 Lapua, 300 Win Magnum, and 22 LR to the list, among others.

Of course YMMV, so it is what it is.

Was it in "Anarchy in the UK"?

Out of 7.5 million Winchester 94's in various calibers , the 30-30 was the most popular. Not very many found their way into military service.
''The United States government purchased 1,800 commercial Model 1894s with 50,000 .30-30 cartridges during World War I. These rifles in the 835800 to 852500 serial number range were marked atop the receiver ring with a flaming bomb and "U.S." The rifles were intended for United States Army Signal Corps personnel stationed in the Pacific Northwest to prevent interruption of spruce timber harvesting for aircraft production. The rifles were sold as military surplus after the war.[4] To release Lee–Enfield rifles for infantry use, the Royal Navy purchased approximately 5,000 .30-30 caliber Model 94 rifles in 1914 for shipboard guard duty and mine-clearing. France purchased 15,100 Model 1894 carbines equipped with sling swivels on the left side of the buttstock and barrel band, and with metric gradations on the No. 44A rear sight. These French carbines were issued to motorcycle couriers, artillery troops, trench railway personnel, and some balloon units. Some of these rifles acquired Belgian proofmarks when sold as surplus through Belgium.[5]
The Winchester 1894 was used again in World War 2 in the hands of the Canadian Pacific Coast Rangers who were issued them to defend the west coast of Canada from Japanese invaders.

I thought I had the ultimate satirical reply. Was going for Faith Hill, she was in the OP!!

(my gal tells me I'm too old for internet humor - when it alludes to something 20plus years old)
