Tom Bullweed 449 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Your other best bet is to intentionally search or contact local gun shops. Some may have a box or more of this limited demand ammo. I found a couple of boxes of .32WCF at a family-owned hardware store. They owner said that these boxes had been on his shelf since the late 1980s. I bought all three boxes with the 1980s price. Both of us were very pleased with my 'find'.

khough 0 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Lohman Arms has never had anything in stock when I have called them, even though their website says it is in stock. I don't think they have updated most of it within the past ten years, which is why their site always has great prices and everything is in stock. Link to post Share on other sites

khough 0 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 When buying 25-20 ammo, you have to be careful which type of 25-20 you are buying. There is the "Single Shot" 25-20 & there is the 25-20 WCF. The lever action rifles are going to shoot the 25-20 WCF, ammo and not the 25-20 Single Shot ammo. There seems to be a good supply of the 25-20 Single Shot ammo around, but unfortunately not the 25-20 WCF ammo. Link to post Share on other sites
Pee Wee #15785 93 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I have 2 Marlins in .25-20 WCF. I have a Model 1894 that was made in 1907 or shortly thereafter. The special-order 26" barrel is 2" longer than the standard 24" for this model. The special-order sights sound like Beach and/or King's but could also be other brands. Since the folding front sight has an ivory bead, it probably is a Lyman #5 and not a Beach. (is it gold washed? All Beach front sights were gold washed) The tang sight with locking lever is a Lyman #2A. The rear barrel sight is either a Lyman #6 (should have a white diamond, not a line) or, since you said it had a white line, it may be a Winchester Express sight. Hard to tell without seeing it. Marlin offered Lyman sights through their catalogs so I would tend to think most of the sights, if original to the gun are Lyman sights. The other one is a 1894 Ducks Unlimited with a half magazine tube, changed to full tube for SASS. I reload for both as all the ammo I have found is jacketed Link to post Share on other sites
