When my brother was allowed to use it one deer season, he decided to just hold on to it. He of course gave me half of what it was worth, but he took that rifle and two original boxes of Winchester ammo I had.

You are really going to like that rifle. Mine/brothers had a great trigger and was very accurate for the open sights it had.
Your chronology is a little off my friend.
The .30-30 Win predated the .32 Win Spec by 6 years.
The .30-30 was "born" in 1895 & the .32 was hatched in 1901.
