Col Del Rio Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Anyone shoot 32/327s? A friend shoots 32 pistols but I haven't seen anyone in our club use a 32 cal rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Haven't been around any in a few years , but I have shot with several pards in the past who used 32-20s. Some were Model 92s , some 73s. They are out there. Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Howdy I picked up this real nice Model 1892 chambered for 32-20 a year or two ago. Haven't taken it to a match yet, but I intend to one of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 a few years back Marlin made 32 H&R Mag. Nice handling and no problems with KD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I know a few Pards who use the .32 caliber rifle exclusively, MYSELF included. Those I am aware of are all Marlin 1894 models. All are the later 'JM' models with the cross bolt safety. AND, they are in the Cowboy configuration (Octagon barrel). Apparently, Marlin only made about 600 or so and they bring a premium price at this time. As for the Henry, I have seen 2 of them in .327 Fed Mag. They are nice... but HEAVY, real heavy. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostVaquero Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Use a Marlin 1894 32 H&R, a pard uses a 1873 in 32-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Spade Mikey Wilson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I have a pair of Taylor 1873 Cattleman 32-20 revolvers, and an original Winchester 1892 , Uberti 1873, and a Browning 53 all in 32-20 that I shoot quite regularly using .313 diameter 100 grain bullets over Trail Boss powder. A very fun little cartridge to shoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've got 3 .32-20's 1 Winchester 73, 1 Winchester 92, and 1 Colt Lightning. Guess which is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 And I’ll raise with four 32-20’s; a Winchester 73, a Winchester 92, a Uberti 73, and a Colt Lightning; also two Marlin Mod 92’s that have been converted from 32 Colr/32 rimfire to 32 S&W Long. The Marlins will also shoot 32 S&W short. I have to admit though, I usually shoot my Uberti Mod 73 in 38/357. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not had it worked on but to be fair I don't have any of mine made race ready. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Charlie, I haven't handled the steel framed Henry .32. I should have mentioned that both of those heavy rifles I mentioned were both with the brass looking frame. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to add that they list for $893 but if you shop around as I did you can find 1 for about $640 NIB from a dealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I've got a Marlin 94 CCLTD .32-20 I shoot once in awhile, paired up with a set of 5 1/2" .32-20 Uberti Cattleman revolvers. Not a lot of the Marlins around - only 501 made in that configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks for posting the pic, Charlie. I don't think I have seen the steel frame version. VERY nice looking rifle. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank You Bullett 19707 I have fire 32 SW, 32 H&R & 327 mag in it just to see how it does. It cycled fine for me but remember that the shorter the bullet the more chance there is to jam. I am normally using 32 H&R to match pistol rounds, smooth as silk. Lifetime warranty is also a plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Creek,5759 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I shoot a Marlin Model 92 in 32 marlin . It will shoot 32 S&W. Very nice rifle. Prices are not sky high like the 94 marlin in 32 Mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I saw a .32-20/.32 H&R mag convertible Vaquero on Gunbroker yesterday - I wouldn't mind a set of those, but there weren't many made (273, according to the seller), and he has a starting bid of $1400.
